Original Title: Screening-/ Vorsorgeprogramme für Kinder und Jugendliche von 6 bis 18 Jahren. Ergebnisse zu ausgewählten Ländern, Österreich-Programmen sowie Empfehlungen aus evidenzbasierten Leitlinien
Authors' results and conclusions: This LBI-HTA report focuses on children and adolescents from 6 to 18 years and deals with 9 international screening services, 4 Austrian screening programmes and with screening and counselling recommendations from 59 evidence-based guidelines on a total of 25 diseases and risk profiles. Based on the guidelines, the report involves positive screening recommendations for 11 health threats. The country programmes resulted in consistent screenings with regard to body weight, height, dental diseases, visual and hearing disorders and mental disorders. In summary, thematic similarities between the guideline recommendations, the international practice examples and the 4 Austrian programmes were found.
