The focus of this study is on vascular access for hemodialysis. This is a randomized clinical trial testing 3 educational approaches to help patients with advanced chronic kidney disease prepare for placement of hemodialysis vascular access. Study participants will each be assigned to one of the 3 approaches: 1) "Education", in which participants will be given a video and brochure that provide information about the types of vascular access and what can be expected before and after the vascular access is placed, 2) "Education-Plus", in which participants will be given the video and brochure and will also have sessions by telehealth with a motivational interviewing coach to provide additional support around vascular access placement, and 3) "Usual Care", in which participants will have the usual education provided by their kidney doctor and clinic staff just as if they were not in the study. Participants in all 3 groups will be asked to complete questionnaires by telephone and may be invited to be interviewed about their experience with the study intervention at the end of the study. Study participation will last for about 12 months, with most of the study activities taking place during the first 3 months.

| Motivational Interviewing | Behavioral | Participants receive coaching with telehealth-based motivational interviewing designed to prepare participants to move forward with vascular access creation. Motivational interviewing will consist of a minimum of 3 and maximum of 8 telehealth sessions with a coach. The coach will use patient-centered communication skills to work though the stages of pre-contemplative, contemplative, preparation, action, and maintenance of an arteriovenous vascular access. |
|
| Usual Care | Behavioral | Participants receive the non-standardized vascular access counseling and referral to the chronic kidney disease education class that comprises the standard care provided by their nephrology clinic. |
|
| Patient Lists for Clinicians: System-Level Intervention | Other | Nephrologists and clinic staff receive monthly, provider-specific, lists of patients potentially appropriate for AV access planning based on eGFR thresholds and kidney failure risk. These criteria identify patients at risk for progression to dialysis and are congruent with evidence-based guidelines for optimal timing of AV access evaluation referral. |
|
| Completed Appointment with Surgeon for Vascular Access Evaluation (Effectiveness outcome) |
The proportion of participants with a completed appointment with a surgeon for evaluation for vascular access creation. |
| Within 12 months after randomization or before hemodialysis initiation, whichever comes first |
| Imaging for Planning Arteriovenous Vascular Access Creation (Effectiveness outcome) | The proportion of participants with completed vascular imaging via ultrasound or angiography for planning arteriovenous vascular access creation surgery. | Within 12 months after randomization or before hemodialysis initiation, whichever comes first |
| Usable Arteriovenous Vascular Access (Effectiveness outcome) | For participants who start hemodialysis, the proportion with a usable arteriovenous access at dialysis initiation. | Up to 4 years after randomization (full duration of the trial) |
| Vascular Access Knowledge (Effectiveness outcome) | The change from baseline in vascular access knowledge as measured by the Patient Perceived Vascular Access Knowledge scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating a higher level of vascular access knowledge. | 12 weeks after randomization |
| Decision Self-Efficacy (Effectiveness outcome) | The change from baseline in decision self-efficacy as measured by the Decision Self-Efficacy Scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 11, with higher scores indicating a higher level of self-efficacy when making decisions about hemodialysis vascular access. | 12 weeks after randomization |
