SNARE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: ClusteringActive Control1 Intervention
The patients at clinic one who receive hemodialysis on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and the patients on the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday schedule at clinic two, will be assigned to the Clustering arm.Two patients per hemodialysis shift with the highest clustering coefficient will be selected to participate in the COACH (Communicating about Choices in Transplantation) intervention. The patient selected by clustering coefficient, will have a clustering coefficient greater than 1 SD from the mean of the other patients on their hemodialysis clinic shift and centrality 1 SD less than a mean. The investigators will measure the spread of information, attitudes, and behaviors by comparing the targeted patients to the other patients on their shift.
Group II: CentralityActive Control1 Intervention
The patients at clinic one who receive hemodialysis on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and the patients on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule at clinic two, will be assigned to the Centrality arm. Two patients per hemodialysis shift with the highest centrality will be selected to participate in the COACH (Communicating about Choices in Transplantation) intervention. The patients selected by centrality will have a centrality greater than 1 standard deviation (SD) from the mean of the other patients on their hemodialysis clinic shift and a clustering less than 1 SD from the mean. The investigators will measure the spread of information, attitudes, and behaviors by comparing the targeted patients to the other patients on their shift.
