- This study explores how perceptions of racial discrimination, health stigma, and pain-related injustice affect the functioning of Black youth with sickle cell disease (SCD).
- The sample consisted of 30 non-Hispanic Black youths (avg. age 11.3) and utilized statistical analysis to examine relationships between these perceptions and outcomes like functional disability, anxiety, and depression.
