Transplant candidates, particularly those who are Black, report that multiple barriers prevent them from receiving LDKTs. These barriers include minimal knowledge about LDKT; fears about donors' future health; guilt; medical mistrust; and discomfort about how to discuss LDKT with family and friends. Most transplant candidates have never met either a kidney donor or a recipient of a transplant or LDKT. A multi-component intervention that efficiently addresses these barriers could plausibly increase receipt of LDKT among Blacks.
