Brief Summary

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

This study aims to develop an effective, brief, family-based intervention targeting quality of life and school functioning for youth with sickle cell disease. Utilizing a randomized, delayed control group intervention methodology, the present study will systematically document the effectiveness of a family-based, one-day intervention plus booster phone calls to improve quality of life and increase school functioning for children with sickle cell disease transitioning to school and their families.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Families Taking Control-School-age Intervention (FTC) will provide education and problem solving training for disease management and school functioning. In 4 sessions offered over the course of one day, families (patient, caregivers, and school-age siblings) will work together and individually to learn and apply the problem solving skills training model to relevant examples and family-specific problems, culminating in an outline of family goals to target after the intervention. The three booster phone calls will provide support to families in implementing the problem-solving model by addressing and refining goals and trouble-shooting barriers to implementation. Children and caregivers completed measures at baseline (prior to intervention participation) and 6 months later.
