Disparities in National Kidney Allocation Policy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Kidney Disorders

In brief

The purpose of the current study is to test a systems-level approach to disseminate a multicomponent, multilevel intervention consisting of educational materials about transplantation and the new kidney allocation system targeting dialysis facility medical directors, staff, and patients. Roughly 750 dialysis facilities in up to 18 End Stage Renal Disease Network regions across the United States will be randomized to receive intervention materials. The overall goal of the study is to extend the influence of the national allocation policy in reducing disparities in early steps in kidney transplant access.
