First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a health advocate can help families of children who recently had a liver transplant. The advocate works with the family for 90 days to find resources, coordinate appointments, and communicate concerns to the medical team. The goal is to see if this support reduces organ rejection and improves outcomes. About 108 families will take part, with half receiving the advocate and half getting a resource handout.
