Pharmacy Standards

NHF’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC) issued a standards-of-care recommendation in 2008 to assist pharmacies providing clotting factor concentrates for home use to patients with bleeding disorders.

Newborn Study

Physician-researchers conduct a survey on behalf of NHF's Medical and Scientific Advisory Council to gauge current practices regarding newborn intracranial hemorrhage and obstetrical care and mode of delivery of pregnant hemophilia carriers. The survey queried obstetricians, neonatologists, and hematologists in the United States.

Behavioral Science Study

Over the course of 18 months, NHF worked with chapters throughout the U.S. to learn more about the nature and needs of adolescents with hemophilia. Results were presented at the 1968 meeting of the World Federation of Hemophilia in Montreal, and were also published in the December 1969 of Vocational Guidance Quarterly.
