(KidneyTIME Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The study is a- 2-arm randomized controlled trial among patients presenting for kidney transplant evaluation at a single transplant center to compare the effects of a patient-based self-learning and outreach intervention about living-donor kidney transplantation (KidneyTIME) versus usual care for living-donor kidney transplant knowledge, concerns, readiness, access behaviors, and living-donor inquiries over 12 months follow-up. Following consent and baseline assessment, participants were randomized, stratified by self-reported race, with equal allocation to 2 treatment arms: the KidneyTIME intervention and usual care.
