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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this training could help healthcare providers communicate better with children who have sickle cell disease, potentially improving their care and health outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training may not lead to lasting changes in communication or patient health.
