Family Health History Tool
The Does It Run In the Family? online tool helps you create customized family health history materials for your family, organization, or community. The tool allows you to customize two booklets, "A Guide to Family Health History" and "A Guide for Understanding Genetics and Health", with:
- personal health stories
- photographs
- family health history quotes
- interview questions
- disease information
- health resources
The tool was created to:
- help people learn more about the importance of knowing and talking about the health of their families
- explain the basics of how conditions are passed down within families
- provide suggestions and tools to help people not only talk about the health conditions affecting their families but also to use that information to maintain or improve health
Communication is the key to unlocking your family health history, and these personalized booklets help start conversations about health with your family, healthcare provider, and community.
