**Empowering Adolescents and Young Adults With Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in Treatment Decisions**
This study aims to help young people with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) make better treatment choices. SCD is a condition where red blood cells, which carry oxygen, become sickle-shaped and can block blood flow, causing pain and other problems. The study will test a shared decision-making program for young people aged 15-25, their caregivers, and doctors. It will involve 60 young people and their caregivers from three hospitals: Nemours Children's Hospital in Delaware, Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando, and Nemours Children's Health in Jacksonville, Florida. The program will include either virtual reality (a computer-generated environment) or standard educational materials like printed guides or videos.
- Participants must be 15-25 years old, speak English, and be receiving SCD treatment at the mentioned hospitals.
- The study involves using decision aids during clinic visits.
- People who have already tested the program or have certain health issues won't be able to join.
