To meet this objective and test our hypothesis, we propose a two-arm, parallel group randomized trial among 500 Black kidney transplant candidates. After Black transplant candidates are placed on the waiting list for a DDKT, we will randomize them to either: (1) a control group that will receive Usual Care, or (2) an Intervention group that will receive a group-based intervention as well as monthly mailings and a follow-up phone call by a transplant educator. Participants randomized to the Intervention will be asked to attend, in small groups with any family and friends, a 60-90 minute seminar that will feature brief talks regarding: ●basic facts about CKD, transplant, and the waiting list; ●the experience of receiving a LDKT transplant (by a Black LDKT recipient); ●the experience of serving as a living kidney donor (by a Black living kidney donor); and ●strategies to increase the chances of getting a transplant sooner.
