Background: Communication within families of children with sickle cell disease is important yet has not been adequately investigated.
Methods: Focus group interviews were conducted with parents of children with sickle cell disease to explore parent-sibling communication about sickle cell disease.
Results: Communication was influenced by attributes and behaviors of the parent, the child with sickle cell disease, and the sibling; extended family, neighbors, friends, and church members or social networks; and available, accessible resources related to the child's health, child's school, and parent employment.
