Summary

This study tests a web-based tool called CHOICES that provides tailored information about reproductive health options for people with sickle cell disease or trait. The study involves 506 adults aged 18-45 who plan to have a child within two years. The goal is to see if the tool improves their knowledge about genetic transmission, parenting options, and safe contraception.
