Health Education Resources
PHACS take creative approaches to health communication. We believe that truly relevant health education resources come about by partnering and working together with all stakeholders. These include study participants, caregivers, and PHACS study staff across the US. We focus on issues that caregivers and study participants identify as important and the solutions they identify as relevant. Some of these include disclosure, healthy transition to adulthood, medication adherence, and sharing the results of PHACS studies.
