Overview
Project Summary:
The "Refesh Brain Tumour Resources" project will refresh the world for children and adults across Canada and their families by providing current information on brain tumours and their treatment. Healthcare professionals will update the current edition of the Adult Handbook which was last updated in 2005 and the current edition of the Pediatric Handbook which was last updated in 2007. These Handbooks will empower and help people living with brain tumours and their families to be involved in the treatment.
One social worker quoted, "Many devour it saying how great it is. Patients and families especially like the diagrams and glossary, because the world of brain tumours presents a whole new language."
In 2009 alone, 6,915 Handbooks were distributed. Between 2002 and 2009, 52,753 Pediatric and Adult Handbooks were distributed across Canada.
Deliverables:
