About

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a web-based intervention using a mobile device is helpful for teens learning to care for and manage symptoms of sickle cell disease. The intervention lasts 12 weeks with a 3-month follow up period, and uses a smartphone or a tablet.

Full description

The purpose of the proposed study is to test the feasibility of SMYLS, an mHealth intervention designed to facilitate self-management behaviors in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). Specifically, the investigators propose to test the feasibility of the intervention for improving transition from parent-managed to adolescent self-managed care. In addition, the investigators will evaluate the communication that takes place via the intervention between adolescents, their parents/caregivers, and healthcare providers. The investigators will work with the MUSC Pediatric Sickle Cell Clinic to identify and recruit 5 healthcare providers of children with SCD and 30 dyads of adolescents ages 11 - 17 SCD and their parent/caregiver (n = 60).
