Percent of Patients With at Least One Inquiry From a Potential Living Donor Primary · Baseline, 12 months

Data collection form that captures potential recipient ID (i.e. study participant), date of living donor inquiry, and donor inquiry ID, will be securely obtained from each transplant center following a 12 month period from enrollment. Data will be collected electronically for all study participants through a secure, HIPAA-compliant data server (QualityNet). The percent of patients with at least one inquiry from a potential living donor among patients who receive Living ACTS will be compared to those who receive a control website with embedded educational video.

Sponsor's own description

For most of the patients in the United States with end stage renal disease (ESRD), kidney transplantation represents the optimal treatment, and living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is preferable. Nevertheless, there are pervasive racial disparities in access to LDKT. The main outcome of this study is change in the proportion of study participants who have at least one living donor inquiry by friends/family over study period.The long-term objective is to understand the combined effect of a systems-level intervention (Transplant Referral EXchange or T-REX) and a culturally-sensitive individual-level educational intervention (web-based Living ACTS: About Choices in Transplantation and Sharing) on racial disparities in access to LDKT.
