Be thorough and honest when providing your medical history as it will help the healthcare provider assess your risk.
4. Answer screening questions: The form may include a series of screening questions that will help determine if you are at risk for sickle cell trait.

Who needs sickle cell trait screening:

1. Individuals with a family history: If there is a family history of sickle cell disease or trait, it is recommended for individuals to undergo sickle cell trait screening. This is important as sickle cell trait can be passed on from parent to child.
2. Couples planning to have children: Sickle cell trait screening is highly recommended for couples planning to have children. Both partners should be tested to determine if they carry the sickle cell trait, as a child can inherit sickle cell disease if both parents have the trait.
3. Certain ethnic groups: Sickle cell trait is more commonly found in individuals of African, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian descent. Therefore, individuals from these ethnic groups may be advised to undergo sickle cell trait screening, even in the absence of a known family history.
4. Athletes and military personnel: Athletes and military personnel may also be required to undergo sickle cell trait screening. This is because individuals with the sickle cell trait may be more susceptible to certain health complications during intense physical activity or extreme conditions.
5. General population: In some cases, healthcare providers or organizations may offer sickle cell trait screening to the general population as part of routine health screenings or community initiatives. This allows for early detection and management of the trait if present.
