> U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative
> Health care professionals have known for a long time that common
> diseases - heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - and even rare diseases
> - like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia - can run in
> families. If one generation of a family has high blood pressure, it is
> not unusual for the next generation to have similarly high blood pressure.
>
> Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and other
> blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you
> may be at risk and take action to keep you and your family healthy.
>
> To help focus attention on the importance of family health history, U.S.
> Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., in cooperation with
> other agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
> (HHS) has launched a national public health campaign, called the U.S.
> Surgeon General's Family History Initiative, to encourage all American
> families to learn more about their family health history.
>
> In addition to the Office of the Surgeon General, other HHS agencies
> involved in this project include the National Human Genome Research
> Institute (NHGRI), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
> the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Health
> Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
>
> National Family History Day
>
> Surgeon General Carmona has declared Thanksgiving 2004 to be the first
> annual National Family History Day. Thanksgiving is the traditional
> start of the holiday season for most Americans.
>
> Whenever families gather, the Surgeon General encourages them to talk
> about, and to write down, the health problems that seem to run in their
> family. Learning about their family's health history may help ensure a
> longer future together.
>
> My Family Health Portrait
>
> Americans know that family history is important to health. A recent
> survey found that 96 percent of Americans believe that knowing their
> family history is important. Yet, the same survey found that only
> one-third of Americans have ever tried to gather and write down their
> family's health history.
>
> Because family health history is such a powerful screening tool, the
> Surgeon General has created a new computerized tool to help make it fun
> and easy for anyone to create a sophisticated portrait of their family's
> health.
>
> This new tool, called "My Family Health Portrait" can be downloaded
> [http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/download.html] for free and installed
> on your own computer.
>
> The tool will help you organize your family tree and help you identify
> common diseases that may run in your family.
>
> When you are finished, the tool will create and print out a graphical
> representation of your family's generations and the health disorders
> that may have moved from one generation to the next. That is a powerful
> tool for predicting any illnesses for which you should be checked.
