This study is being conducted to determine the relationship between early childhood exposures, such as Adverse Childhood Experiences, Social Determinants of Health and nutrition/breastfeeding, among children with sickle cell disease, and behavioral interventions aimed to reshape psychological resilience and lifestyle factors towards positive health outcomes.
During year 3 of the award period, 20 mother-infant dyads will be randomly assigned to either a community-based breastfeeding support group or observation. Acceptability to enrollment, intervention adherence for at least 6 months and preliminary effectiveness will be captured. Biomarkers of inflammation, development of asthma and incidences of pain and/or acute chest syndrome will be compared among the intervention and control groups.
