Lt-Care (Liver Transplant-Community Access for Referral Equity) Applied
A previous study (25857) focused on developing a multilevel intervention addressing health related variables and other social/structural barriers faced by patients as the most prominent way to acknowledge and improve LT referral equity. The LT-CARE intervention has been designed and as a part of this protocol, will be delivered to and assessed by patients and health care providers.Recruitment for providers: Prospective Provider participants will be from among those who are a GI provider in the state of Indiana. A member of the study staff will call the prospective participant to explain the study in appropriate language. Recruitment for patients: Prospective participants will be referred from their provider or will self-refer from a recruitment flier. A member of the study staff will call the prospective participant to explain the study in appropriate language. At IU Health and Eskenazi sites, prospective participants will be recruited from among those seen in clinic by a Hepatology care provider and will be contacted in person during their clinic appointment. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic. Interested in participating?
