Sponsoring Austrian CME/ continuing medical education for physicians. A systematic analysis of the CME-Database
In recent years, the sponsorship of CME/ continuing medical education for physicians by the pharmaceutical and medical device industry is increasingly scrutinized. The question in this project was the scope of sponsoring in the Austrian CME-training. From the CME database of the Austrian Academy of doctors 13 medical fields (from a total of 56) were selected with the aim to analyse the number of events that were financially supported by manufacturer. The investigation shows that a sponsorship of at least 14.3% and at most 67.2% of the events took place. The sponsors are, as might be expected, pharmaceutical and medical product suppliers in the respective subject, mainly from "high-cost and / or high-volume" products.

Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). Decision-aid for young women and girls
In 2008 the German AOK-Bundesverband commissioned the LBI-HTA to develop a decision-aid on the vaccination against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for young women and girls (online since June 2009). After smaller updates in 2010 and 2011, the updated, completely revised and partly new structured decision-aid went online in March 2015 (www.hpv-entscheidungshilfe.de).The first part of the decision aid contains information about the virus and HPV related diseases. The second part of the decision aid informs about the HPV-vaccine(s). Finally, the third part of the decision aid summarises information of parts I and II: eleven short information blocks can be rated according to the relevance for the decision (mainly pro or mainly contra vaccination or of no influence). In the present project report online contents are available in paper form for the first time. Hence, we were able to add country specific data for Austria and provide further, more detailed information (which has not been included in the online version due to complexity).
