TAKE-IT: Teen Adherence in Kidney Transplant Effectiveness of Intervention Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Action-focused problem-solving and Electronic pillbox monitoring, dose reminders, and feedback for Kidney Transplantation and Medication Adherence. Completed, enrolled 170 participants across 8 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The broad aim of the proposed study is to improve medication adherence in adolescent kidney transplant recipients. The investigators hypothesize that a multi-component intervention will improve medication adherence in the adolescent kidney transplant population. The specific aims are to determine, in a randomized clinical trial, the efficacy of a structured, multi-component intervention in improving adherence to anti-rejection medications and graft outcomes, and to identify characteristics of healthcare systems that are independently associated with adherence.
