Coping Strategies and Social Support for Transition Readiness Among Youth With Sickle Cell Disease.
July 1, 2026 · JAMA network open
Key takeaway
This study found that Black youth with sickle cell who actively tackle their health problems are better prepared to manage their care as adults. This matters because it shows how important it is for our young people to learn problem-solving skills to stay healthy as they grow.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in hematology helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
