Assessing Psychosocial Risk and Resilience to Support Readiness for Gene Therapy in Sickle Cell Disease
Patient readiness and psychosocial factors will have tangible implications for the success of gene therapy at individual and collective levels. Health care institutions, industry, payers, policymakers, and clinicians all shoulder responsibility for ensuring that patients with SCD are adequately prepared for gene therapy and supported in ways that optimize readiness and access. Resources described here may be leveraged as a guide to support implementation of pregene therapy assessments of patient readiness and resilience in SCD.
