Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of this study is to describe the experience and unmet needs of persons living with VWD and their caregivers in Canada.

The survey is planned to be done in two phases: The first phase will be directed at adult participants; the second phase will focus on children and teenagers. At the end of the first phase the Sponsor will decide if the second phase will be started.

Participants and their caregivers will be asked to answer a set of questions either using an online questionnaire or through interviews. The participant/caregiver's perception, experience, satisfaction, and unmet needs, and need for new treatments or new indications will be determined based on their responses to the questions.
