ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Early Life Exposures Among Children with Sickle Cell Disease," is studying how various early life experiences, like childhood challenges and factors related to health and nutrition, can affect children with sickle cell disease. The goal is to understand how these experiences influence their mental well-being and lifestyle choices, ultimately aiming to improve their health outcomes.

To participate in this study, mothers of infants diagnosed with sickle cell disease who live in or near Birmingham, Alabama, may be eligible. The study is currently not recruiting participants, but once it begins, mothers will have the chance to engage in discussions and activities designed to help their children develop resilience and healthier habits. It's important to note that mothers taking certain medications that can harm a developing baby or those with limited internet access will not be able to participate. This research could provide valuable insights into supporting children with sickle cell disease and their families.
