PriMHE leaflet

Almost one in five people in Austria suffers from mental health problems, many with additional physical health problems. The tangible consequences of social and demographic developments further aggravate the need for access to optimized, integrated mental healthcare services. For this reason, the Department of Health Economics at the Medical University of Vienna is conducting a primary data collection survey in Vienna as part of the multidisciplinary research project STREAMLINE, funded by the Viennese Science and Technology Fund. The aim of the project is to create an atlas of available services for people with mental illness and a catalog with relevant aggregated cost information for future research and care planning.

Relevant Viennese service providers were identified based on publicly available information. These providers will be approached by email to take part in the data collection from 22nd of April to 23rd of May (for individual service providers) and 30th of May, 2025 (for organisations). For each completed survey, € 10 will be donated to a charity organization on behalf of the STREAMLINE project.
