Summary
This study tests whether peer support specialists—people who have been through liver transplant for alcohol-related disease themselves—can help others in the same situation stay sober and attend medical appointments. About 95 participants will meet regularly with a peer supporter for one year. Researchers will track alcohol use and how well patients follow their medical care.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that peer support helps liver transplant recipients stay alcohol-free and keep up with medical care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 95 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention relies on personal interaction, which can vary in effectiveness.
