Evaluation of Knowledge Among Adolescents With Sickle Cell Disease.

Sickle cell teenagers receive regular hospital medical care.

Adolescence is the time when the pathophysiology of the disease is re-explained and when questions around puberty (possibly delayed), sexuality and contraception are discussed.

Sickle cell disease, like any chronic disease, can have repercussion on the development and behavior of young patients.

Knowledge and understanding of young patients with sickle cell disease around these issues may be insufficient.
