Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25, where Psychology major Nicholas Bellamy will present his research “Does Internalized Stigma Moderate the Association between Anxious Symptoms and Sickle Cell Disease Pain?” in the UC Ballroom at 10 a.m.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the world’s most common genetic blood disorder and is characterized by episodes of severe pain. Recent studies have shown a link between SCD pain and anxiety, but little is known about the influence of other psychosocial factors.
