Pain and complications related to pediatric sickle cell disease (SCD) are associated with higher health care utilization. In other pediatric chronic conditions, psychosocial screening can help identify children and families at risk of increased health care utilization to guide resource allocation, address treatment needs, and improve care. This study aimed to investigate the utility of psychosocial screening in predicting increased health care utilization among youth with SCD. Youth with SCD (n = 74, 8–18 years) and their parents were recruited from comprehensive SCD clinics. Parents completed the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT), which categorized family psychosocial risk into one of three categories: Universal (minimal distress), Targeted (elevated distress), and Clinical (persistent distress). Youth reported on their pain characteristics, and health care utilization was extracted from medical chart review. Differences in health care utilization were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and moderation analyses. Based on PAT risk, families were categorized into Universal (56.8%), Targeted (29.7%), and Clinical (13.5%) risk groups, with no significant group differences across demographic variables. Patients in the Targeted group reported significantly higher pain frequency than those in the Universal group (F[2, 66] = 3.7, p < .05). The association between pain frequency and health care utilization significantly varied on the basis of psychosocial risk, such that Clinical psychosocial risk strengthened the connection between pain frequency and health care utilization (β = .2, t = 2.1, p < .05). Integrating the PAT into routine clinical care may help health care providers identify families in need of greater psychosocial or medical support to further optimize SCD management.
