Actionsets

Actionsets are topics designed to help you or someone you care for take an active role in managing a health condition. Managing a health condition means taking a set of actions to better control the condition's effect on you and to prevent long-term problems.

Actionsets:

  • Provide action-oriented tools and information that you can use in day-to-day management of your health conditions.
  • Contain information that will help you better understand the effect of the actions you take.
  • Include interactive quizzes that allow you to measure your knowledge.
