- This 110,000-word monograph draws on sustained community activism and research on sickle cell dating back to 1986. It utilizes sociological theories to analyze social aspects of sickle cell, and uses sickle cell as an exemplar to critically interrogate key sociological concepts such as ethnicity and racism. The monograph draws on 49 case studies (Ch 6); 5,000 participants in a Randomised Control Trial and 226 short interviews (Ch 7); over 1,000 questionnaires (Ch 11); and 163 in-depth interviews across 5 projects. The research draws extensively on consulting Black African/Caribbean men/boys, who, justifiably suspicious owing to racism, have historically resisted health research.
