DOI:

Synopsis: 
We surveyed adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) about their pain; results show that SCD pain in the Caribbean is undertreated and impacts negatively on education, employment, marital status and enjoyment of life.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Undertreated pain around the world includes the acute and chronic pain caused by sickle cell disease (SCD). In collaboration with a Caribbean association that aims to provide assistance to those diagnosed with SCD, we surveyed adults with SCD about pain management and impact of SCD pain.
