Storytelling for Kidney Transplant Promotion
(LDKT Stories Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
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.
