Center for Consumer Self Care

We seek to help consumers take a central
part in caring for their own health.

We achieve our mission by applying our experience in medicines, dietary supplements, in-home diagnostic devices, and lifestyle practices to:

• Engage national, state, and local stakeholders on significant health policy issues and initiatives affecting access to, as well as the cost, quality and behavioral outcomes of, self-care;
• Conduct policy-relevant research to advance the knowledge and practice of self-care;
• Share with consumers and health professionals relevant, reliable, evidence-based information on responsible self-care;
• Educate health practitioners and students about the theory and practice of self-care.
