Men Get Autoimmune Diseases, Too
AARDA's New Autoimmunity Public Service Campaign Alerts Men About Their Autoimmune Disease Risk.
The campaign launched on April 3, 2008 consists of 30-second radio and television public service announcements (PSAs) and education materials designed to raise awareness about the fact that, while women are disproportionately affected, these diseases do not discriminate when it comes to gender. Specifically, the PSAs inform men about the importance of knowing their family AQ.

Know Your Family AQ
The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA) has launched its first-ever national public service (PSA) campaign titled, "Know Your Family AQ," starring well-known actress and longtime AARDA spokesperson Kellie Martin.
AQ is a play on IQ and stands for Autoimmune Quotient. How likely are you or a loved one to develop an autoimmune disease? 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.
