Implementation of an educational intervention to optimize self‐management and transition readiness in young adults with sickle cell disease

The transition from the pediatric setting to adult care is a well‐described period of morbidity and mortality for persons with sickle cell disease (SCD). We sought to measure the feasibility and effectiveness of providing skill‐based educational handouts on improving self‐management and transition readiness in adolescents with SCD.
