Key Points

This research aims to identify barriers to adherence to national guidelines for hydroxyurea counseling and TCD screening in pediatric sickle cell disease.
National survey of clinicians treating sickle cell disease.
Assessment of adherence rates for TCD screening and hydroxyurea counseling.
Evaluation of associated factors influencing adherence, such as practice barriers and outcome expectancy.
Adherence was 46% for TCD screening, linked to beliefs about patient follow-up (P < .05).
Adherence was 72% for hydroxyurea counseling, influenced by practice barriers and lack of agreement (P < .05).
Different strategies are needed for improving adherence to TCD screening compared to hydroxyurea counseling.
