MULTIsite Feasibility of MUSIc Therapy to Address Quality Of Life in Sickle Cell Disease

This is a multi-site, multi-visit feasibility RCT of music therapy (MT) among adolescent and adult patients (aged 14 and older) with sickle cell disease (SCD). Subjects will be randomized into one of three groups, either (1) 6 visits of in- person MT (InMT:); (2) 1 visit of in-person MT and 5 visits of virtual MT (HybMT); or (3) 1 visit of in-person health education and 5 visits of virtual health education (HybHE). Cohorts of 15 participants (10 at site 1 and 5 site 2) will be recruited each quarter for 6 quarters to reach 90 participants. Cohorts will maintain a semi-structured recruitment, consenting, assessment, and intervention schedule. The primary objective of the study is to examine the feasibility of study. This is defined by 6 metrics: (1) completeness of data collection, (2) participant screening, (3) participant recruitment, (4) participant retention, (5) Individual attendance and (6) Home practice. A final determination of "feasibility" for the study will be met if any 4 of the 6 metrics described above are met. This study will also include a secondary objective of conducting qualitative interviews to assess feasibility of implementation.
