Intervention to Improve Adherence in Teen Kidney Transplant
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Kidney Transplantation, Medication Adherence
In brief
The broad aim of the proposed study is to improve medication adherence in adolescent kidney transplant recipients. The investigators hypothesize that a multi-component intervention will improve medication adherence in the adolescent kidney transplant population. The specific aims are to determine, in a randomized clinical trial, the efficacy of a structured, multi-component intervention in improving adherence to anti-rejection medications and graft outcomes, and to identify characteristics of healthcare systems that are independently associated with adherence.
