The pilot project “Information in Vorarlberg” (Invvo) is extremely well received by the girls and women in Vorarlberg. The first intervening results of the corresponding research project are also interesting.
The model project has been active for three months, a first intermediate balance is extremely positive: after a clearing appointment, more than 800 women of different ages have already received a so-called Invvo Pass, with which they not only receive free contraceptives, but also free advice. The 200 women have already received a contraception of their choice, at least 50 benefited from advice.
“Invvo is a milestone to offer women free access to contraception advice and contraceptives, and lays the foundation for more opportunities for opportunities and self -determined decisions in Family Planning” women’s information center Femail carried out on behalf of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

He emphasizes that the Invvo not only offers concrete support, but also offers valuable scientific knowledge. A research project, which runs parallel, investigates how women’s health care changes when they receive advice and contraceptive for free. The first data is quite exciting: it became clear that women between the ages of 20 and 30 in particular were reached by Invvo. Younger girls would actually be the core target group of the project. To achieve this better in the future, the Amazon Association is now coming in. Moreover, for women with a migration background, the language barriers are further reduced by specific information data with interpreters.
According to Lea Putz-Erath, director of Femail, the girls and women mainly gave three reasons for their participation: on the one hand they want to contribute so that the costs of contraception recognized as a health care and then covered the public sector. In the event that long -term prevention after a few months has to be removed due to side effects, you want to reduce the financial risk. And the third most important reason was that a safer contraceptive method was not possible due to personal and financial reasons.
Contraception more important than protection against venereal diseases
It is interesting that two -thirds of the participants are interested in long -term prevention, only a third wants a short -term prevention. “This relationship is reversed in the current Austrian contraceptive report,” says Putz-Erath. Why this should be raised. Moreover, interest is more a contraception and less to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. “Here we not only have to raise awareness girls and women, but certainly also boys and men in the future.” It is surprising that the general interest in the supply is greater than the actual demand months can also be evaluated.
