The purpose of this study is to test the impact of a newly developed educational program on kidney transplant candidates' communication about living and deceased donor kidney transplantation.
The Communicating about Choices (COACH) in Transplantation program educates patients with end stage renal disease, who are waitlisted for kidney transplantation, about kidney disease and the risks, benefits and processes for both living and deceased donor transplantation. The program also teaches key communication skills needed to effectively initiate and manage conversations about transplantation.
