| description | Animated video could improve the reach of health education to kidney transplant (KT) seekers and their social network. Usage outcomes are rarely considered. This exploratory study aims to investigate use patterns of an animated video-based intervention (<i>KidneyTIME</i>) and examined associations with patient characteristics. Descriptive, quantitative analyses were conducted on user data (April 2022–March 2024) of KT-seekers allocated to the intervention arm of an ongoing randomized controlled trial of <i>KidneyTIME</i>. Of 195 KT-seekers allocated to <i>KidneyTIME</i>, optional use (defined as ≥1 video view or share) was 74% at 6 months follow-up and significantly higher among patients in the pre-evaluation phase (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.63, <i>p</i> = 0.0051) and with an active Facebook account (OR 2.93, <i>p</i> = 0036). Higher total video viewings were associated with single adult household (<i>p</i> = 0.0496). Not employed participants viewed more different videos (<i>p</i> = 0.0168). More days of viewing was significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) associated with older age, worse health, not employed, and single adult household. Video sharing was significantly associated with social media use (OR 2.86, <i>p</i> = 0.0264), active Facebook account (OR 2.55, <i>p</i> = 0.0411), and lower health literacy score (OR 2.80, <i>p</i> = 0.0274) and inversely associated with lower social support score (OR 0.35, <i>p</i> = 0098) and male sex (OR 0.48, <i>p</i> = 0.0394). Web-based animated video education promoted through email or text links is a viable modality to reach diverse KT-seekers. |
