2. Individuals with a family history: If you have close relatives with sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait, it is important to undergo a sickle cell screen. This helps determine if you carry the sickle cell trait or if you have the disease itself.
3. Couples planning to have a child: Sickle cell screen is recommended for couples who are planning to have children, especially if both partners have a family history of sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. It helps assess the risk of passing on the disease to their offspring and allows for informed reproductive decisions.

This is particularly relevant for individuals from ethnic backgrounds with a higher incidence of sickle cell disease.
