Background:
Since the completion of both parts I and IV of the project in April 2011 there was evidence of missing especially Austrian data regarding the frequency of specific health threats.

Aim of the project:
The aim of the update is to complete the report with previously unaccounted Austrian data.

Methods:
Additional data was compiled by a questionnaire (12/11-02/12). We analysed the new references and contacted the contributors when appropriate. We updated both tables concerning frequency and those “ranking” health threats.

Milestones:
May 2012: Analysis of responses, contacting of experts
June 2012: Data extraction, update of part I and IV
