Summary

The goal of this pilot randomized trial is to learn about shared decision making in kidney transplant candidates. The aim of this proposal is to evaluate the Donor Plan Donor Choice tool to promote high-quality Shared Decision Making for providers and kidney transplant candidates at two transplant centers. Participants will: * Review an online education tool, Donor Plan Donor Choice. * Discuss a Kidney Offer Plan with a transplant provider. * Answer questions about willingness to consider different donor types. Researchers will compare the Shared Decision Making group to usual care to generate pilot data and implementation outcomes for a larger trial.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether a structured shared decision-making program helps patients on the kidney transplant waiting list feel more prepared to make difficult decisions when a donor organ becomes available. When a kidney is offered, patients typically have only a few hours to accept or decline — a stressful decision that many people feel unprepared for. This program guides patients through thinking about their goals and values before that moment arrives, so they can make a more informed and confident decision. **You may be eligible if...** - You are currently on the kidney transplant waiting list - You have been listed for transplant for at least 3 months - You are 18 or older - You speak English **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not speak English - You are under 18 - You are unable to give informed consent - You have chosen to opt out of participating in research Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
