About

The goal of this pilot randomized trial is to learn about shared decision making in kidney transplant candidates. The aim of this proposal is to evaluate the Donor Plan Donor Choice tool to promote high-quality Shared Decision Making for providers and kidney transplant candidates at two transplant centers.

Participants will:

• Review an online education tool, Donor Plan Donor Choice.
• Discuss a Kidney Offer Plan with a transplant provider.
• Answer questions about willingness to consider different donor types.

Researchers will compare the Shared Decision Making group to usual care to generate pilot data and implementation outcomes for a larger trial.
