Urges Americans to "Know Their Family 'AQ'"

The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA) today launched its first ever national public service (PSA) campaign titled, "Know Your Family AQ," starring well known actress and longtime AARDA spokesperson Kellie Martin.

Unveiled on the steps of the U.S. Capitol at a patient rally during National Autoimmune Diseases Awareness Month, the multi-media PSA campaign consists of 30 second radio and television spots, as well as a video interview with Martin. It is designed to educate Americans about the existence of the close genetic relationship and common pathway of disease among autoimmune diseases, which helps explain the clustering of these diseases in individuals and throughout families.
