Efficacy of a Decision Aid for Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Disease

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sickle Cell Disease

In brief

The trial is a prospective, randomized study to determine the efficacy of training for use of a web based Decision Aid for Hydroxyurea(HU) usage among subjects with Sickle Cell Disease(SCD). Subjects are randomized primarily either to using a web based decision aid with training versus without training. Subjects in each group will be further randomized to 1) subjects receiving pretest surveys; and 2) subjects that do not receive pretest surveys.
