The first edition Sickle Cell Disease: Management for the School Nurse was prepared by the Child Health Promotion, Pediatric Preventive Services, Health Promotion/Disease Prevention Services Unit and was adapted from Sickle Cell Disease: A Family Guide, New Jersey State Department of Health, 1993. This second edition was revised and edited by Richard A. Drachtman, M.D., Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, in collaboration with the Sickle Cell Advisory Committee in New Jersey and the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services. This guide reflects the state of knowledge, current at the time of publication, on effective and appropriate care. Given the inevitable changes in the state of scientific information and technology, periodic review, update and revision will continue to be done.
Funding for this edition was made available as part of a health services grant from Special Child, Adult and Early Intervention Services, Family Health Services, NJ Department of Health and Senior Services.
