Summary
This trial is exploring the use of virtual coaching to support people who are considering a kidney transplant.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are being evaluated for a kidney transplant and can make their own medical decisions. They must speak English, be willing to involve at least two people from their social network in the sessions, and share results with them. Pregnant women and prisoners cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a virtual coaching program designed to provide social support counseling to potential kidney transplant patients. It aims to see if this intervention helps improve outcomes by involving the patient's personal support network.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves counseling rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological discomfort discussing sensitive health issues within their social networks.
