Pilot Social Support Counseling Intervention for Kidney Transplant Candidates

Feasibility pilot social support counseling intervention for kidney transplant candidates

Individuals who are eligible for kidney transplant will be randomized into two groups, control and interventional counseling. The control group will be given a simple survey to fill and return while the interventional counseling will go through a second counseling session along with members of their social support networks. The interventional counseling will then complete the survey (same as control group). Survey answers will be recorded within REDCAP.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Between ages 18-80
• Being considered for kidney transplant
• Part of social support network for an individual being considered for kidney transplant.
• Physically and Mentally able to participate.
