Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The RaDIANT community study protocol: community-based participatory research for reducing disparities in access to kidney transplantation.
The Southeastern United States has the lowest kidney transplant rates in the nation, and racial disparities in kidney transplant access are concentrated in this region. The Southeastern Kidney Transplant Coalition (SEKTC) of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina is an academic and community partnership that was formed with the mission to improve access to kidney transplantation and reduce disparities among African American (AA) end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the Southeastern United States. ⋯ The RaDIANT Community Study aims to improve equity in access to kidney transplantation for ESRD patients in the Southeast.
