Hispanic Outreach Promoting Equity (HOPE) Project
While SCD disproportionately impacts Black and African American people in the United States, there is a growing population of Hispanic-American people living with SCD and individuals who identify as first-generation US citizens. With the growing number of diverse individuals living with SCD, Sick Cells identified the need to conduct further research into the unique educational needs for the Hispanic community living with SCD. The goal of the Hispanic Outreach to Promote Equity (HOPE) Project is to understand how race and ethnicity have impacted the experiences of Hispanic individuals with SCD.
