Children whose parents have a mental illness are much more likely to experience health problems and other adverse long-term impacts. Child-centred psychosocial interventions can be effective, but not is known about how design implement them in different settings. A pre-post, mixed methods, single-arm evaluation of co-designed social support intervention with children (4-18 years) measured parents' (PHQ-9), perceived (ENRICHD), parental self-efficacy (PSAM) children's (SDQ), quality life...
Objectives: Health technology assessment (HTA) was established in Austria the 1990s and, since then, it has gained considerable importance. In this study, we aim to analyze whether HTA reports that have been produced at Institute for Technology Assessment (ITA) and Ludwig Boltzmann (LBI-HTA) had an impact on decision making within Austrian health care system. Methods: We selected all were intended supporting (i) reimbursement/investment or (ii) disinvestment decisions. Eleven full...
Gesundheitsökonomische Methoden können die Entwicklung und Evaluation von neuen Versorgungskonzepten unterstützen, indem sie Daten zu eingesetzten Ressourcen genieren diese ins Verhältnis einem definierten Nutzen setzen. Die meist angewendete Standardmethodik der gesundheitsökonomischen wird dabei jedoch dem hohen Komplexitätsgrad Interventionen in Gesundheitsversorgung nicht gerecht. Dadurch fehlen entscheidungsrelevante Informationen, beispielsweise Präferenzen Zielgruppe,...

However, interventions support their needs early can significantly enhance adjustment and reduce outcomes. Approximately one in four children currently lives parent worldwide. The lifelong impact for individuals, governments, broader society is be substantial. There significant workforce barriers the identification COPMI addressing needs, particularly within adult...
Forms of collaborative knowledge production, such as community-academic partnerships (CAP), have been increasingly used in health care. However, instructions on how to deliver processes are lacking. We aim identify practice ingredients for one element within a CAP, 6-month co-design process, during which 26 community- and 13 research-partners collaboratively designed an intervention programme children whose parent mental illness. Using 22 published facilitating hindering factors CAP the...

Given limited resources compared to the demand for them, spending efficiently is important. Key methods applied supporting efficient resource allocation are health economic evaluations. Based on secondary literature, we analyze international challenges using two types of evaluations—cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis—in reimbursement decisions reflect them Austrian case. The main with application evaluations related methods, decision-making culture, respective system. also...
