    Comparing the Effectiveness of House Calls and Peer Mentorship to Reduce Racial Disparities in Live Donor Kidney Transplantation
    Role Description: This study pursues three aims: (1) Compare the effectiveness of adding a Peer Mentorship (PM) Program to a House Calls (HC) educational program on the rate of living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) in black patients with ESRD. (2) Assess the impact of the interventions on patients’ LDKT knowledge, willingness, concerns, and readiness, as well as on the occurrence of living donor evaluations for the patient. (3) Identify mediators of the relationship between the interventions and the occurrence of LDKT.
    Role: Principal Investigator

    Increasing VCA Donation Knowledge, Attitudes, Willingness, and Designations in Veterans
    Role Description: The objective of this project is to use a mixed-methods approach to develop and evaluate (randomized controlled trial, RCT) targeted video interventions designed to increase VCA donation knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and designations in a diverse veterans population, as well as to enhance their commitment to authorize VCA donation for a deceased relative or significant other.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
