About this study
The primary purpose of this study is to test different methods by which kidney transplant centers can educate potential transplant candidates about living donor kidney transplant (LDKT).
The most effective ways to educate kidney transplant candidates about LDKT remain unclear. The goal is to determine, among a diverse cohort of potential kidney transplant candidates, whether a transplant center-based intervention will increase understanding of the opportunities for and process, risks, and benefits of living kidney donation and LDKT. The investigators hypothesize that kidney transplant candidates' understanding of living kidney donation and LDKT will be increased by interventions implemented at the transplant center on the day of transplant evaluation.

The investigators propose a single-center, 2-arm, cluster-randomized, controlled trial to compare the effects of two educational strategies upon transplant candidates' understanding of living kidney donation and LDKT:
- Usual transplant education implemented by the transplant center, on the day of the transplant evaluation (standard care); and
- Intensive initial transplant education implemented on the day of the transplant evaluation.
Intensive initial transplant education will utilize videos of living donors' experiences as well as a session with a trained Transplant Educator, who will focus upon living donation education. One week after the transplant evaluation day and 3 months later, the investigators will assess transplant candidates' knowledge of LDKT (using questionnaires), identify correlates of increased understanding of LDKT, and assess racial/ethnic differences in the understanding of LDKT.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intensive initial educationBehavioural
Participants will (1) view a video, brochure, and fact sheet regarding living kidney donation, and (2) discuss the videos and materials with a transplant educator, in-person.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Usual education (standard care) | No intervention | On the day of the transplant evaluation at the transplant center, participants receive usual transplant education regarding living donor kidney transplant. |
| Intensive initial education | Experimental | On the day of the transplant evaluation at the transplant center, participants receive usual transplant education regarding living donor kidney transplant. In addition, participants will (1) view a video, brochure, and fact sheet regarding living kidney donation, and (2) discuss the videos and materials with a transplant educator, in-person. Receives: Behavioral: Intensive initial education |

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01261910, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
