Access to Kidney Transplantation in Minority Populations
Sponsor: University of New Mexico
Summary
Hispanic/Latino (HL) and American Indian (AI) patients are more likely than whites to have kidney failure, but less likely to complete transplant evaluation or receive a kidney transplant (KT), the best treatment for kidney failure. Using comparative effectiveness research methods, we will conduct a pragmatic randomized trial to compare the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of two approaches to help HL and AI patients overcome barriers to completing transplant evaluation and receiving a KT: a streamlined KT evaluation process and a peer-assisted evaluation program; and, we will determine best practices to assist other transplant centers in implementing the better program. Findings from this work may help reduce disparities in transplant evaluation and KT.

Interventions
Kidney Transplant Fast Track (KTFT)
Streamlined KT evaluation involving completion of most or all testing on the same day a patient arrives for their first pre-transplant clinic appointment. Or, a transplant clinic scheduler secures testing within a 4 week period.
Peer Navigation (PN)
Uses trained, previous KT recipients who meet weekly to monthly with patient participants to provide tailored information and assistance in completing the necessary steps to proceed to transplant.
