Self-Management for Youth and Families Living With Sickle Cell Disease - SMYLS

The purpose of this proposal is to integrate family-centered self-management strategies with
mobile health (mHealth) technology to improve reach, self-management behaviors, and child and
caregiver physical and psychosocial symptoms and quality of life. Specifically, the
investigators propose to conduct feasibility testing of SMYLS, which has been adapted based
on user feedback in the first phase of this study. First the investigators will work with the
Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Pediatric Sickle Cell Clinic to identify and
recruit families with children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the community, statewide.
Next, the investigators will test the feasibility of the intervention with 30 dyads of
children ages 8 - 17 with sickle cell disease and their parent or primary caregiver, (N=60)
