Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease responsible for an abnormal hemoglobin.The anomaly
 has several consequences: a low hemoglobin rate (chronic anemia), plugs formed by red blood
 cells in blood vessels (extremely painful vaso-occlusive crises) and greater susceptibility
 to infections.

 Patients with this disease should be monitored medically continuously from birth. At
 adulthood, they will pass from a pediatric medical care system to an adult medical care
 system.This transition can be experienced with more or less ease, depending on the
 organization within the pediatric and adult hospitals.

 This questionnaire aims to assess the quality of the transition between pediatric and adult
 services.The investigators want to better estimate hospital work and improve the quality of
 care for this type of patients, throughout their entire medical history.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease responsible for an abnormal hemoglobin. It
 particularly affects populations with an African ascent (300 000 African children are born
 every year with this genetic anomaly).

 The anomaly has several consequences: a low hemoglobin rate (chronic anemia), plugs formed by
 red blood cells in blood vessels (extremely painful vaso-occlusive crises) and greater
 susceptibility to infections.

 The severity of sickle cell disease is variable among children. Some develop frequent and
 serious complications, while others don't. A child with sickle cell disease is hospitalized
 about a week a year in average (for a painful crisis, infection or worsening of anemia).
