简要总结
This pilot study will be a clinical trial to test the feasibility and effectiveness of an educational intervention and a mobile health intervention in adults with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who have not yet identified a potential live donor.
详细描述
Transplant candidates are hesitant to discuss their illness and the difficulties associated with dialysis, and are therefore reluctant to pursue live donor kidney transplant (LDKT). The investigators will conduct a prospective 3-arm randomized controlled trial with two novel interventions to increase live donation. Arm 1 includes LDC program and the Facebook app, Arm 2 includes just the Facebook app, and Arm 3 includes standard of care. The investigators primary objective is to demonstrate the the effectiveness of these interventions in increasing live donor transplantation rates for candidates with no prior potential live donor.
