Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait – SCDAA Brochure
Local groups, especially SCDAA community-based organizations, are welcome to customize it by adding their logo and contact information. You can see how this was customized for Illinois by SCDAI. If it is distributed without customization, use the national version with 1-800 number for contact.
This brochure was developed by Dr. Wanda Whitten-Shurney of SCDAA-Michigan Chapter for counseling for sickle trait in newborns, as well as adolescents and adults. SCDAA MARAC agrees with the nuances prioritization of updated info. SCDAA would like to encourage use of this brochure as a shared national resource and will keep its logo on the upper right corner. There is a lot more to sickle cell trait counseling (notably excellent materials in the CDC sickle cell trait toolkit) but this brochure is the kernel and the first step.
