Event Description

Dual Principal Investigators Dr. Ifeyinwa (Ify) Osunkwo from the Carolinas HealthCare System and Dr. Raymona Lawrence from Georgia Southern University will present on the PCORI-funded Sickle Cell Trevor Thompson Transition (ST3P-UP) Project.

This multi-center study will compare the effectiveness of adding virtual peer mentoring to a structured education-based transition program for emerging adults with sickle cell disease. The outcomes studied will be decreasing the number of acute care visits per year, improving patient-reported outcomes, and reducing healthcare utilization among emerging adults with sickle cell disease.
