Art and Dance Exchange is a performance-based
dance program designed to encourage peer cooperation, support, and engagement
as well as self-expression in adolescents and young adults with sickle
cell disease. To evaluate the benefits of the program on self-worth and
self-esteem, investigators collect voluntary qualitative responses to
open-ended questions from participants using appreciative inquiry methodology
and use Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents and Self-Perception
Profile for Adults to assess self-worth in seven primary domains: global
self-worth, school competence, athletic competence, social acceptance,
close friends, physical appearance, and romantic appeal. A sampling of
10-15 male and female participants between the ages of 10 and 26 years
will be evaluated over a period of 4 months to two years.
