Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a narrative-based LKDT education intervention, the Living Donation Storytelling Library, in increasing transplant knowledge, health literacy, and recruitment of living donors. Secondarily, this study aims to compare hereterogeneity in viewer responses across race and gender to identify potential targeted narrative interventions for LKDT education.
Method: Two-arm randomized control trial with 80 prospective living donor kidney transplant recipients at Vancouver General Hospital in collaboration with Houston Methodist Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
Standard of care patient education materials
Standard Patient Education
Standard of care patient education materials include verbal didactic offered during the surgical consult and pamphlets produced by Vancouver Coastal Health.
Experimental
2 storytelling videos in addition to standard of care patient education materials
Storytelling Video
The Living Donation Storytelling Project (LDSP) is an online video library of living donation first-person narratives aiming to inspire more people to consider LDKT (https://livingdonationstories.org/).17 As of 2020, the library has 118 stories from living donors and kidney recipients sharing their experiences with the pursuit, challenges and outcomes of transplant.18,19 Four videos were selected from the LDSP and edited to standardized duration and thematic content. Videos were cut to three minutes in length and covered the topics of 1) challenges faced when seeking LDKT, 2) life after LDKT and 3) advice for other patients considering LDKT.
Standard Patient Education
Standard of care patient education materials include verbal didactic offered during the surgical consult and pamphlets produced by Vancouver Coastal Health.
