Interventions for Promoting Kidney Transplant Empowerment
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Summary
This is a cluster randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the effect of community health workers (CHWs) and provider education on kidney transplant (KTx) waitlisting compared to usual care (waitlist control). CKD/HD providers will be randomized to intervention or control, and all patients with the same providers will be in the same randomization group. CHWs will address unmet social needs and patient symptoms through evaluations and linkage to clinical and community services. Intervention providers will receive education, which will include training on working with CHWs, reducing bias in clinical decision-making, and increasing affirming/reducing stigmatizing language in electronic health records (EHRs).
