“Is selling sex criminalised? Selling sex is legal only under certain specific conditions. Each province in Austria has different rules on what is permitted and what is not. In the most restrictive province the law stated that sex work cannot occur outside of a registered brothel but no brothels have ever been registered making it effectively illegal. Other parts of the country (e.g. Vienna) permit street work under certain conditions (times of day and parts of town), also if working as a sex worker have to register with the police to be working lawfully. Is buying sex criminalised? No. Is organising/managing criminalised? Yes to a degree- it is against the...more

"A large percentage (20–50%) of the patients in Austria and Germany who have metabolic diseases come from Turkish immigrant families. The risk of suffering from a metabolic disease detected by the extended newborn screening program, is significantly higher in children from Turkish families than in those from native German and Austrian families. One reason for this is the tradition of consanguineous marriages (marriages between cousins) in this population. Follow-up data of children with phenylketonuria show that dietary compliance is poorer among Turkish children than among Austrian children. Investigations of the determinants of compliance revealed differences between Turkish and Austrian families in their knowledge about the disease and in their coping...more
