Protocol - Pediatric School Performance
Description
This protocol includes four questions from the Education - School Questionnaire from the Pediatric Hydroxyurea Phase III Clinical Trial (BABY HUG). The four questions capture the child’s current grade and age, whether the child has ever been held back, and if so how many and which grades, and whether the child receives special accommodations for education.
Specific Instructions
The Sickle Cell Disease Research and Scientific Panel (SRSP) notes that this measure can be supplemented with the Day Care Attendance protocol in the Toolkit.
Although this measure has been validated for use in ages 24 months to 21 years, it is most practical in pediatric populations.
The SRSP recommends that investigators ask parents to bring in a copy of the childs report card to verify the number of days missed from school.
