Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Knowledge about Living Kidney Donation
Will assess change in knowledge and positive attitudes about risks, benefits, processes, and cultural factors associated with living kidney donation over time, and their associations with participant characteristics (i.e., age, literacy).
3 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Website use and satisfaction
3 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Control Arm
NO INTERVENTIONStudy participants will take the self-administered pre-test and receive the standard of care. After taking the pre-test, control arm participants will be done with study participation for that day and will attend the transplant center's education sessions. All participants will receive a letter and follow-up call at about two weeks later to schedule the final survey. They will take a final survey via telephone about 3 weeks later. The final survey includes the same topics as the pre-test. They will receive a thank you letter and gift card by mail after completing the final survey.
Website Intervention
EXPERIMENTALNavigate website plus standard of care
Interventions
Study participants will take the self-administered pre-test in the intervention arm and will be introduced to the website to inform the public of various topics concerning end-stage kidney disease and kidney transplantation. Few websites about transplantation are tailored to potential Hispanic kidney transplant candidates or the Hispanic community. This website is designed to fill the void and be an effective bilingual web-based educational resource targeted to Hispanic patients and public which can serve as a culturally competent tool to enhance knowledge and attitudes about living kidney donation.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adults (age ≥ 18 years)
- Hispanics/Latinos
- ESRD patients who are scheduled to attend each participating transplant center's education sessions. Sessions mark the first phase of evaluation in order for patients to get wait listed for a transplant or for others to become a living kidney donor.
- Family and friends who accompany patients to the transplant center.
- Identification as Hispanic/Latino.
- Ability to come to Northwestern 3 hours prior to the scheduled education session.
- Ability to read. Reading ability will be assessed using the 5-point Likert scale question validated in English and Spanish:13 "How often do you need to have someone help you when you read instructions, pamphlets, or other written material from your doctor or pharmacy?" People will be included if they reply 1-Never or 2-Rarely.
You may not qualify if:
- Non-identification as Hispanic/Latino.
- Inability to come to Northwestern 3 hours prior to the scheduled education session.
- Individuals who are not able to read Spanish or English. People will be excluded if they reply 3-Sometimes, 4-Often, and 5-Always to the question, "How often do you need to have someone help you when you read instructions, pamphlets, or other written material from your doctor or pharmacy?" .
