disease:Sickle Cell Disease
Aside from the pedigree chart/Punnett square, what educational resources will you provide to the family as you educate them? Use sources which focus on genetic inheritance in general and on the specific disease, appropriate for lay persons. Include primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention. Don’t list websites; either download and include these resources, or prepare them yourself, citing scholarly sources. It is okay to copy and paste as long as attribution is cited. This should be a packet (handout) ready to give to this patient/family. The goal is to include educational material on the specific disease and its’ inheritance that is ready to deliver to a family with the problem. Your educational material needs to be in a separate document (Word or pdf). Here is an example you might have used if your topic was trisomy 18 or 13: Carebook-updated-8-15-14.pdf
