Improving Transition Readiness in Young Adults With Sickle Cell Disease

Transition of young adults with sickle cell disease is essential. This project examined the effectiveness of an educational intervention at a pediatric hematology practice to improve transition readiness in young adults with sickle cell disease. Interventions used were 2 Stepping Up videos and 5 questions from “Incorporating Health Care Transition Services Into Preventive Care for Adolescents and Young Adult.” Data was collected and results were analyzed preintervention, immediately postintervention, and at return office visit.
