Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study involves recruiting individuals eligible for kidney transplants and randomly assigning them to either a control group or an interventional counseling group. The control group will complete a simple survey, while the interventional group will participate in group education and counseling sessions that include their social support networks. Both groups will complete pre and post surveys to assess the impact of the counseling intervention. The data will be collected and managed using REDCAP.
