Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the impact of a newly developed educational program on kidney transplant candidates' communication about living and deceased donor kidney transplantation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Communicating about Choices (COACH) in Transplantation program educates patients with end stage renal disease, who are waitlisted for kidney transplantation, about kidney disease and the risks, benefits and processes for both living and deceased donor transplantation. The program also teaches key communication skills needed to effectively initiate and manage conversations about transplantation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Usual care

Patients in this arm will receive only the education offered by the transplant center, as required by Medicaid. Upon completion of all data collection activities, patients in this arm will be offered the program.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

COACH Program

Participants randomized to the intervention condition will attend a COACH session held in a small group format. The session provides information on living and deceased donor transplantation (i.e., the processes, risks and benefits) and on the key communication skills needed to effectively initiate and maintain conversations about transplantation.
