Promoting the Health of People with Clotting Disorders

archived

The purpose of this program is to provide support through CDC cooperative agreements for non-research activities for people affected by clotting that provide access to public health programs that provide accurate and credible health information. These activities should include implementing effective health promotion and wellness programs, or provide training for health care professionals on the early recognition of VTE or management strategies to prevent complications of VTE. The goal of this program is to increase knowledge and awareness, or influence perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes of people who have been affected by clotting (i.e., people who have either experienced or are at increased risk for VTE), or health care professionals about health behaviors to prevent or mitigate secondary conditions associated with clotting.
