Daniel Sop, PhD, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, discusses how social determinants of health and structural disparities profoundly affect the quality of life and disease management of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). He explains that limited social support, housing insecurity, and economic instability often force patients to prioritize survival needs over medical care. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
