Page AB-Tha Chronicle, Thursda Sickle Cell Three new publications from the National Association for Sickle Cell Disease lnc,t or NASCD, address major issues which affect persons with the sickle cell conditions. They include prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell anemia, advice for parents and teachers of children with sickle cell anemia and the advantages of summer camp programs for those children. Charles F. Whitten. M.D.. of Detroit, NASCD president, said, uWc took our position on prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell anemia because one of the recent advances in the sickle cell field is the ability to make this diaghosis early enough in the pregnancy for parents to make a judgment as to whether or not they wish to continue the pregnancy. M We are convinced that unless our position is communicated and adopted, a vast number of women with sickle cell trait who are carying a fetus with sickle cell anemia will be advised by their physicians to have a termination without receiving any in-depth counseling." The NASCD goal for prenatal diagnosis is to have all women . who are pregnant with a child with sickle cell anemia to be able to make informed decisions that they believe are in their best in(lilt K FAI* ..I? ? ?vivai i iu VUllUHUlIIg or terminating the pregnancy. The NASCD pamphlet, ad-V dressed to individuals with sickle cell trait and to physicians who - provide health care to the black population, describes the required services to achieve that goal, the nature of the counseling that should occur and the appropriate service providers. A second new publication, the Parent Teacher Guide, tells how parents and teachers^can work together to achieve school success for children with sickle cell anemia. Whitten said that the handbook is an attempt to resolve one of the major problems in sickle cell disease - the fact that the overwhelming majority of adults with the disease are not selfsufficient, and many m are unemployed, on public assistance or being supported by their families.
