Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for sharing your work on non-adherence and access to kidney transplant in adolescents. I think this is a really important issue because compliance with immunosuppression post-transplant is a obviously a major concern for providers in determining whether candidates are suitable for transplant, and non-adherence pre-transplant is usually a major red flag. I can only imagine that this is exacerbated in the context of health disparities. I think your work could have widespread implications for all solid organ transplant candidates, particularly those who have a history of substance misuse or abuse.
