This is a multi-center, cluster randomized study comparing the effectiveness of adding virtual peer mentoring (PM) to a structured education-based (STE) transition program based on the 6 core elements of transition in improving acute care reliance, quality of life and satisfaction with transition process in emerging adults with sickle cell disease (EA-SCD). The study will involve a total of 14 large (>80 EA-SCD currently in pediatric care) and small-scale (?80 EA-SCD currently in pediatric care) clinical sites, with a 1:1 randomization at the site level. The study will involve approximately 700 subjects, 120 peer mentors, and 25 advisors. The primary endpoint of this study will be the average number of acute care visits per year over a minimum of 24 months. Secondary objectives are to compare the effectiveness of STE+PM versus STE alone at improving patient-reported outcomes and reducing healthcare utilization among EA-SCD. Enrollment is anticipated to occur over 18-24 months
