The purpose of this study is to inform healthcare interventions to reduce the disparities in liver transplant listing and in transplantation.
Aim 1. Establish a longitudinal cohort of patients with end-stage liver dysfunction. Aim 2. Examine interpersonal and structural factors associated with liver transplant evaluation and listing by patient characteristics (e.g., race, ethnicity, SES, gender). Aim 3. Examine the use of stigmatizing language among patients undergoing liver transplant based on their demographic characteristics (e.g., race, ethnicity, SES, gender).
