Can a 90-Minute training improve care for kids with sickle cell?
NCT ID NCT07540767
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 90-minute virtual training for healthcare providers that teaches them to see each patient's unique perspective and communicate more clearly. The goal is to improve how doctors talk to children with sickle cell disease. Thirty providers from three hospitals will be randomly assigned to either the training or a standard education session, and researchers will measure changes in communication skills.
