Virtual Coaching for Potential Kidney Transplant Patients
Detailed description
Individuals who are eligible for kidney transplant will be recruited by phone or email and randomized into two groups, control and interventional counseling. The control group will be given a simple survey to fill and return while the interventional counseling will go through a group education and counseling session along with members of their social support networks. The interventional counseling will then complete a pre and post survey (same as control group). Survey answers will be recorded within REDCAP.
