Summary

The Southeastern Kidney Transplant Coalition is an academic-community collaboration between partners in the kidney disease community who share the common goal of eliminating health disparities in access to kidney transplantation among African American End Stage Renal Disease living in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Volunteer members of this community-based coalition include patients with kidney disease, dialysis facility staff and providers, transplant centers, quality improvement organizations, and patient advocacy organizations. The burden of kidney disease is highest in the Southeast, and yet the rate of kidney transplantation is the lowest in the nation. Further, the investigators research suggests that racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation are concentrated in the Southeast, where African Americans are less likely to access each step in the transplant process. The long-term goal of the investigators Coalition is to use community- based participatory research approaches to develop, test, and disseminate sustainable, community interventions improve access to transplant for African American patients with kidney disease. The Reducing Disparities in Access to kidNey Transplantation (RaDIANT) community study proposes to use community-based participatory research methods to develop a multilevel intervention to reduce racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation. The long-term impact of this application will be to reduce racial disparities in the kidney disease community.
