Summary

This trial will test whether nudges and tailored boosters can help people with sickle cell disease or thalassemia have a child free of their condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-45 with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or Sickle Cell Trait (SCT), who can read and speak English, want to conceive within the next two years, and aim to have a child free of SCD. It's not open to those who've been in CHOICES studies before, are unable to complete study tasks, or cannot have children due to medical reasons.
What is being tested?
The CHOICES3 trial is testing a web-based program designed to help people with SCD/SCT make informed decisions about having children. Participants will use an online platform offering educational content and personalized support strategies aimed at reducing the risk of conceiving a child with SCD.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves educational content delivered through an eBook rather than medication, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this clinical trial.
