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.

This image identifies links to Actionsets, which generally appear in the Home Treatment section of selected topics. Actionsets can also be found in the Health Tools section of a topic.
