Pediatricians' attitudes about this policy are unknown.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>OBJECTIVE:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We queried 3 specialty sections of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)\u2014the Section on Adolescent Health, the Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness (COSMF), and the Section on Bioethics\u2014to determine attitudes about and knowledge of SCT testing of athletes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Three e-mail surveys were sent to 600 members of the AAP chosen equally from the Section on Bioethics, the Section on Adolescent Health, and the COSMF. The survey queried respondents about their awareness of the NCAA policy and whether they supported universal or targeted screening based on gender, race\/ethnicity, level of play, and type of sport.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Usable responses from 254 of 574 eligible respondents (44%) were received. Respondents were 54% male and 84% white. Almost half were aware of the NCAA policy, with highest awareness in members of COSMF (P &amp;lt; .001). Only 40% supported universal screening, whereas 70% supported targeted screening of athletes in all NCAA divisions and would focus on black student-athletes more than on Hispanic or white-Mediterranean student-athletes (no differences among AAP sections\/council). More than 75% of all respondents support allowing athletes or their parents to waive screening. A majority expressed some concern that athletes with SCT might experience discrimination in sports participation and\/or insurance. Members of COSMF were least concerned about discrimination.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The NCAA policy to universally screen Division I athletes is not uniformly supported by pediatricians, who prefer targeted screening based on race\/ethnicity and sport in all NCAA divisions. We found little difference in policy considerations between members of the different AAP sections\/council except that members of the COSMF were least concerned about discrimination.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2011-0187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,9]],"date-time":"2011-08-09T02:23:49Z","timestamp":1312856629000},"page":"477-483","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sickle Cell Trait Screening in Athletes: Pediatricians' Attitudes and Concerns"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"Joy","family":"Koopmans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucy A.","family":"Cox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cook County Public Defender Service, Chicago, Illinois; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Benjamin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics,"},{"name":"Orthopedic Surgery Sports Medicine, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ellen Wright","family":"Clayton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lainie Friedman","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics,"},{"name":"Medicine and Surgery and MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"2021120823432453700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"997","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp1007639","article-title":"Screening student athletes for sickle cell trait: a social and clinical experiment","volume":"363","author":"Bonham","year":"2010","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2021120823432453700_B2","unstructured":"Hosick\u2008MB\n          .
