About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Digital Storytelling in Increasing Living Kidney Donor Recruitment in Canada
This study will examine the effectiveness of first-person storytelling in encouraging patients with end-stage renal disease to pursue Living Donor Kidney Transplant (LDKT). The Living Donation Storytelling Library LDSP is a library of videos from donors and recipients sharing their transplant stories, serving as a narrative-based transplant education resource. This study will investigate if exposure to the LDSP changes patient readiness and motivation to pursue LDKT to ultimately increase the number of donor inquiries and donor evaluations. This study will also test if the LDSP serves as a health-literate and culturally safe education approach that can effectively support racialized communities who have a disproportionately higher need for LDKT.
Read the detailed description
Background: In Canada, racialized communities are 50 to 75 percent less likely to be referred for living donor kidney transplant (LDKT), identify donors, complete evaluation, and receive transplant in comparison to white patients. Several narrative-based transplant education interventions have proven to be effective in increasing LDKT pursuit among Black patients in America. However, these education interventions are labour- and time-intensive and fail to reach the general public outside the location of transplant education. Efficacy of interpersonal education interventions have also yet to be evaluated in Canadian minority populations, predominantly comprised of South Asian, East Asian and Indigenous communities.
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.

Storytelling VideoBehavioural
Also called Living Donor Storytelling Library, LDSP
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 EducationBehavioural
Standard of care patient education materials include verbal didactic offered during the surgical consult and pamphlets produced by Vancouver Coastal Health.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control | Active comparator | Standard of care patient education materials Receives: Behavioral: Standard Patient Education |
| Experimental | Experimental | 2 storytelling videos in addition to standard of care patient education materials Receives: Behavioral: Storytelling Video; Behavioral: Standard Patient Education |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Readiness and Motivation
Elucidate if allowing waitlisted transplant patients to watch two videos from the LDSP will increase their motivation in pursuing LDKT. This was assessed using the validated Decisional Balance Scale measuring perceived pros and cons of pursuing LDKT. Following the prompt, "How important is this statement to your decision about living donor transplant?" was a set of 6 perceived benefits of LDKT (eg, "With a living donor transplant, I will be able to contribute to my family and friends sooner") and 6 perceived disadvantages (eg, "I don't want to involve anyone else in my health problems"). Answer choices were "1: not important," "2: slightly important," "3: important," "4: very important," "5: extremely important." Total attitude scores were calculated by subtracting the sum of perceived disadvantage scores from the sum of perceived advantage scores to obtain a range from -30 (most negative attitude towards LDKT) to +30 (most positive attitude towards LDKT).
Measured: Baseline + 1 month post-intervention
Transplant Actions
Elucidate if allowing waitlisted transplant patients to watch two videos from the LDSP will change their actions towards pursuing LDKT. Pro-transplant behaviors were assessed using the validated Stage of Change Scale. Seven actions related to the pursuit of LDKT were listed (eg, "generally talk to people about my interest in transplant," "ask a potential donor directly to be tested"), and participants were asked if they "1: don't plan on doing this," "2: plan on doing this," or "3: already done this." Scores were calculated by summing survey responses to obtain a range from 0 (least number of actions completed in the pursuit of LDKT) to 21 (most number of actions completed in the pursuit of LDKT).
Measured: Baseline + 1 month post-intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Donor Inquiries and evaluations
Examine if allowing waitlisted transplant patients to watch two videos from the LDSP will increase the number of donor inquiries and donor evaluations.
Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Storytelling Video and Standard Patient Education in people with Living Donor Kidney Transplantation and Health Equity, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Meghan He, BSc (604-838-1066, hemeghan@student.ubc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Readiness and Motivation (time frame: Baseline + 1 month post-intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06734819, which also lists 12 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 18 Dec 2024.
