6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this projects is to test the effectiveness of a tailored educational intervention in increasing knowledge about organ donation among Muslim Americans. More specifically, using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a conceptual framework, the workshop's goal is to enhance attendee knowledge of the benefits and risks (behavioral beliefs and attitude), understanding of religious arguments for and against (normative beliefs and subjective norm), and procedural knowledge about the process and types of (control beliefs and perceived control) living organ donation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention based on the principles of motivational interviewing. The novel intervention will assist living donor candidates to think through any remaining concerns or questions that they may have about living donation. If the intervention is effective, it may help to prevent post-donation problems related to psychological and health outcomes.

This study utilizes a web-based application to help patients on the organ transplant waitlist communicate patient's need for a living donor via social media and provide interested potential donors the opportunity to engage with the evaluation process.
This is a mailed survey to persons who served as living kidney donors at Saint Barnabas Medical Center.

Kidney donors will be randomized to receive one of two incentives in the mailed survey packet: $2 cash vs. $5 cash. The main outcome measure is the response rate to the survey.
