Abstract	The barriers to live donor transplantation are poorly understood. We performed a prospective cohort study of individuals undergoing renal transplant evaluation. Participants completed a questionnaire that assessed clinical characteristics as well as knowledge and beliefs about transplantation. A participant satisfied the primary outcome if anyone contacted the transplant center to be considered as a live donor for that participant. The final cohort comprised 203 transplant candidates, among whom 80 (39.4%) had a potential donor contact the center and 19 (9.4%) underwent live donor transplantation. In multivariable logistic regression, younger candidates (OR 1.65 per 10 fewer years, p<0.01) and those with annual income >=$15,000 (OR 4.22, p=0.03) were more likely to attract a potential live donor. Greater self-efficacy, a measure of the participant’s belief in his or her ability to attract a donor, was a predictor of having a potential live donor contact the center (OR 2.73 per point, p<0.01), while knowledge was not (p=0.56). The lack of association between knowledge and having a potential donor suggests that more intensive education of transplant candidates will not increase live donor transplantation. On the other hand, self-efficacy may be an important target in designing interventions to help candidates find live donors.
