Diana Wilkie of UF has received a $3 million grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute to study the effectiveness of a web-based tool called CHOICES in providing education on the genetic inheritance of sickle cell disease.
“CHOICES breaks new ground by providing, before conception, the necessary genetic and health behavior information to individuals affected by sickle cell disease or carrying the sickle cell trait. We are studying CHOICES to see if it helps individuals make decisions before pregnancy and then implement those decisions to achieve their informed parenting plan,” said Wilkie.
