How Free Is Free Health Care? An Assessment of Universal Health Coverage Among Jamaicans with Sickle Cell Disease
Purpose: In an effort to transition toward universal health coverage (UHC), Jamaica abolished user fees at all public health facilities in 2008. We aimed to determine the extent of out-of-pocket payments (OPPs) and the other cost barriers to UHC among patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Methods: Patients presenting to the Sickle Cell Unit in Kingston, Jamaica, for routine care between October 2019 and August 2020 were consecutively recruited…
Utility of paediatric quality of life and revised illness perception questionnaires in adolescents with sickle cell disease
Quality of life (QOL) and illness perceptions are important considerations when managing adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the SCD-specific paediatric quality of life (PedsQLTM-SCD) and the revised illness perception questionnaires (IPQ-R) in Jamaican adolescents with SCD. One hundred and fifty Jamaican adolescents (M: 74, F: 76; mean age 16.1 ± 1.9 years, range: 13–19 years) comp…

Closer collaboration between Caribbean territories initiated in 2006 to set up strategies to promote better equity in the health care system for SCD patients led to the formation of CAREST: the Caribbean Network of…
