    Abstract

    PROJECT NARRATIVE The proposed study will use surveys and in-depth interviews from National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes and their parents to determine the extent and nature of parental involvement sickle cell trait (SCT) screening. This project will assess whether parental characteristics predict differences in athletes' decisions to receive or opt out of SCT screening.
