General Overview
AVNResources.org is a great place to learn about AVN and how to better live with the disease. However, we also strive to be the largest community-driven AVN research hub in the world. We accomplish this goal in several ways. First, this site offers researchers and doctors a way to directly interact with AVN patients and track their progress over time by publishing on-line questionnaires and polls. Due to the nature of our technical framework, all collected patient information is kept completely private and anonymous. However, internally, the site is able to relate questionnaires and polls collected over time back to the same individual.

Patients benefit from this site's research resource as well because the research participation features of this site allow patients a vehicle to actively “do something to help”. By actively participating in these research projects, many patients feel a little less like just passive victims and a little more in control of the future. Patients here are actively helping the medical community to better understand the disease and how to better treat patients. Most of all, the hope is that information collected here might even lead a step closer to a cure.
