Kidney Awareness Registry and Education

The Kidney Awareness Registry and Education Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of two different interventions aimed at improving health outcomes among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who are at high risk of CKD progression. Specifically, this study will examine how best to implement a provider-level intervention (access to a CKD-registry) and a patient-oriented intervention (automated telephone self-management (ATSM) + health coach) on patient health outcomes, with a 2x2 factorial design.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with CKD (defined as estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate < 60ml/min/1.73m2 or proteinuria consistently over 3 months) who speak English, Spanish or Cantonese and have a primary care provider

Exclusion Criteria:

• Kidney transplant recipients; pregnant women; individuals with an eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m2; prevalent dementia; impaired cognition or severe mental illness; expected life expectancy <6 months; no phone access; self-reported hearing impairment; severe visual impairment preventing use of a touch-tone telephone keypad; and non-study language
