Abstract
A 2-day conference, titled "Network PKU," was developed for adolescents and adults with phenylketonuria and their family members. It was designed to facilitate diet adherence in the current patient population. A novel venue-a local culinary academy-and a variety of learning formats were employed. Results of surveys, conducted at the end of the conference and at 4 months postconference, indicate that it was perceived by attendees to be a valuable and effective tool for facilitating diet maintenance in the assessed time period. Potential factors leading to the success of the conference format are also discussed.
