Measure
Education Control
In addition to standard medical care, youth in the education control group will be provided with access to a self-guided education study website, which will contain static education about SCD (no self-management skills, goal-setting, or social support content) to access over 8-weeks. Education: Education about sickle cell disease to increase disease knowledge
Pain Self-Management Intervention
In addition to standard medical SCD care, youth in the pain self-management intervention group will receive the iCanCope with SCD mobile intervention including goal-setting, peer social support, and pain self-management skills over a period of 8 weeks. Pain self-management: The program is designed to enhance self-efficacy. The app will guide youth in setting structured and personalized goals aimed at improving their pain and functioning. The pain self-management skills will include personalized CBT-based coping skills including deep breathing, relaxation, and cognitive skills (e.g., staying positive). The app will provide in-the-moment access to pain coping strategies to promote positive changes in mood, behavior, and pain.
