Interventions

Survey BEHAVIORAL

Solid Organ Transplant patients will be recruited via social media. Co-investigators will reach out to the administrators of various social media networks to share information regarding the study with their networks on our behalf. Potential participants who are interested in participating, can then follow the link to the online survey tool, which includes the participant demographic information (age, ethnicity and highest level of education) and questionnaire. The questionnaire is 30 questions long and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. This questionnaire will be a single, cross-sectional survey. No personal information will be documented on the questionnaire. All responses will be anonymous. Participants will be recruited for 6 months.
