Sickle cell disorder (SCD) and thalassaemia are inherited blood disorders which have only recently gained serious attention among health professionals and policy makers. In this text, Anionwu (nursing, Thames Valley U.) and Atkin (U. of Leeds) explore issues regarding these disorders in the UK, and the broader problems faced by minority ethnic communities in acquiring adequate health care and support. Coverage includes a clinical introduction to haemoglobinopathies; screening and diagnosing within the context of the "new genetics," including associated ethical dilemmas and problems; general problems faced by patients and their families, and their daily coping strategies; current shortfalls in providing care; examples of existing good practice; strategies and struggles from the historical development of haemoglobinopathy services in the UK; and opportunities and threats for the future. c.

Screening policies for sickle cell and thalassaemia have only recently been formalized in the UK. This book asks what types of ethnicity information are relevant for health professionals to ask as part of this screening and why. Through extensive use of interview material, the book draws upon the experiences of sickle cell and thalassaemia counsellors who have been at the forefront of understanding in this area. The book: . Demonstrates how best practice for screening in a multi-ethnic society requires us to better understand the myth of 'races', the meanings of concepts such as ethnicity and racialization, and the relation of racism to issues of citizenship, immigration, asylum and nationality. . Shows how learning from best practice for screening could be a model for developing cultural competency across all types of health care provision. . Clarifies, through the use of the biologically-grounded exemplar of sickle cell and thalassaemia, debates of 'race' and ethnicity for those working in social sciences. . Listens to the voices of experience and validates the hitherto unacknowledged achievements of professional women from minoritized ethnic groups. Extensive direct quotations from experienced sickle cell and thalassemia counsellors Explanations of key concepts, such as 'race', ethnicity and racism Explanation of the political, social and historical factors underlying tensions in asking an ethnicity questions Further resources and website information

Sickle cell and thalassaemia are among the world’s most common genetic conditions. They are especially common in Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Asia. They affect all ethnic groups but they particularly impact on minority ethnic groups in North America, Europe and Australasia. Much research has focused on clinical, laboratory and genetic studies of these conditions. Through a wide-ranging selection of readings based on social scientific research into sickle cell and thalassaemia, this book seeks to redress this imbalance. This is important as, through an examination of the different social, economic and cultural contexts of the lives of people living with sickle cell or thalassaemia, the contributors demonstrate that people are more than the sum of their genes and that their life experiences are rarely derived solely from the clinical severity of their condition but depend on the social context of their lives. Genetics and Global Public Health presents a new concluding chapter which highlights the critical nature of social science research for sickle cell and thalassaemia communities, providing key insights into the social contexts of human behaviour and analysing how societal arrangements could change to assist people living with either condition. It will be of great interest to postgraduate and research students as well as professionals working in the field of public health. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Ethnicity and Health.
