A Culturally Targeted Transplant Program

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: ESRD

In brief

Hispanic/Latino patients with end-stage renal disease are disproportionately less likely to get a kidney transplant, and specifically, a living donor kidney transplant (LDKT), compared to non-Hispanic whites. Accordingly, without LDKTs, Hispanics experience longer transplant waiting times, shorter patient and graft survival, and worse quality of life. Cultural beliefs and linguistic barriers contribute to the disparity in LDKTs. The objective of the proposed study is to implement and evaluate Northwestern Medicine's® Hispanic Kidney Transplant Program, a culturally-competent transplant center-based intervention, at two transplant centers serving large Hispanic populations. The proposed study will provide valuable knowledge about the potential to rapidly disseminate the HKTP as a novel approach to increase Hispanic LDKTs nationally.
