TY - THES AB - Phenylketonuria (PKU) requires life-long dietary treatment to maintain optimum cognitive function. However, it is often difficult for adolescents and young adults to continue dietary treatment and maintain metabolic control. This study aimed to develop an age-appropriate education tool and to evaluate its effectiveness by instructing a cohort of adolescents and young adults with PKU to count dietary protein to more effectively manage their metabolic disorder.
