The
Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD) Limited Access

The study objectives included: 1) define prospectively the natural
history of sickle cell disease; 2) determine the relationships
between cognitive and academic functioning and brain status as
determined by MRI; 3) determine the cognitive or behavioral markers
of silent infarct; 4) determine the relationship of family functioning
on the Family Environment Scale (FES) to brain status, cognitive
functioning, and social and demographic factors; 5) continue studies
that will enhance the state of knowledge on the influence of sickle
cell disease on the psychosocial adjustment of children and adolescents.
