Background/Objectives
With dramatic improvements in life expectancy, adolescents and young adults (AYA) with sickle cell disease (SCD) increasingly face sexual and reproductive health (SRH) concerns. Despite the high risk of maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality, over half of women with SCD experience pregnancy by age 21, indicating a gap in SRH care. This study examined SCD providers’ practices and attitudes related to SRH, particularly with regards to contraception.
