The primary purpose of our project will be to provide education that is specific to adolescent females diagnosed with a bleeding disorder. Most of the information available in the bleeding community is gender specific to males, age specific to adults and focused on von Wilebrand Disease and not platelet dysfunctions. In order for these young girls to form a concrete knowledge base that they can build upon through their adult life, they need additional educational resources for their diagnosis and prescribed therapy as well as support.
