Examined the peer relationships of siblings of children with SCA (N = 37), comparing them to a matched group of classroom comparison children who were the same race/gender, closest date of birth. Social reputation was examined from the perspective of teacher and peers; peer ratings and nominations of social acceptance were obtained; and information was obtained about the sibling's own view of their peer relationships. No differences were found between the two groups, suggesting that the overall functioning of this group of siblings was comparable to peers in their classrooms. Findings are discussed in terms of professional biases, the lack of empirical data relevant to the issue of sibling competence, and resilience.

Key words: siblings of chronically ill children; peer relationships; sickle cell anemia.
