Differences between countries in health indicators were compared for benchmarking and to make changes. Health profiles from more than 40 cities from 14 countries have been published. From Slovakia health profiles of Bratislava and Kosice have been published. | |

The project identified a number of protective psychological factors (such as sense of coherence, self-management and psychological well-being), as well as social factors (e.g. emotional and instrumental social support, social participation) positively influencing patients’ functional status and quality of life. This knowledge can be utilized in development of patient-centered chronic disease management programmes. | |

EMA/2015/24/PH: Study of Regulatory Communication and Risk Awareness Following the Article 31 Referral of Combined Hormonal Contraceptives in Relation to Thromboembolism | |
| Scheme | EMA – European Medicines Agency, EMA/2015/24/PH; EUPAS21356; Budget: 175.000 EUR | |
| Duration | 2016-2018 | |
| Coordinator | National: Dr. Iveta Nagyova International: University College London, UK, Prof. Fiona Stevenson; Aarhus University Dept. of Clinical Epidemiology, Denmark, Prof. Henrik Toft Sørensen |
|
| Summary | Research has demonstrated an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women using combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC). The outcomes of our study suggest that health professionals can play a key role in communicating with women about CHC and its risks and that they need further support in this task. The dissemination of international guidance on CHC, such as that produced by EMA, could also be improved, to ensure that women across Europe are provided with similar standards of health care when it comes to contraception choices. | |
