Abstract

This disruptive research investigates the complex interplay between health awareness and the prevalence of sickle cell anaemia (SCA) among tribal women in Andhra Pradesh, India. The introduction provides a comprehensive overview, emphasizing the vital role of informed health practices in combating diseases within tribal communities. The literature review examines the global landscape of SCA, shedding light on its implications, while exploring the broader concept of health awareness as a proactive measure for disease prevention. The meticulously designed methodology outlines the research approach, data collection methods, and ethical considerations, establishing a robust foundation for analysis. The study evaluates current levels of health awareness among tribal women, unravelling factors influencing their understanding of health issues, while providing a detailed exploration of the genetic and health risks of SCA. Highlighting government initiatives in Andhra Pradesh, the research scrutinizes the effectiveness of health programs and policies targeting tribal women and SCA. It then analyses the relationship between health awareness and SCA incidence, unravelling the complex contributing factors. A critical examination of the challenges faced by tribal women, including barriers to health information access and socio-cultural constraints, forms a pivotal part of the study. The research culminates in actionable insights for empowering tribal women through strategies to enhance health awareness and strengthen community involvement. In conclusion, this research not only bridges gaps in existing knowledge but also offers a blueprint for tailored health policies, underscoring the significance of empowering tribal women through strategic health interventions to pave the way for a healthier, more informed community in Andhra Pradesh. The outcomes will inform the development of targeted health promotion strategies, educational campaigns, and community-based interventions to enhance health awareness and reduce the burden of sickle cell anaemia in these communities.
