Arms

  • Experimental: Intensive Intervention (iPREP RRT)
    The intervention is administered by a patient educator (PE), a culturally concordant health educator. S/he will review the CKD and RRT education materials on a tablet device with the participant, answer any questions they have, and using motivational interviewing techniques get a commitment for future action. The participant and the patient educator will work together to decide on potential CKD self-management and RRT options and/or next steps. The PE will teach the participant how to use the home blood pressure monitor and will leave it with the participant. The patient educator will check in with the participant through text messages and follow-up phone calls.
  • Placebo Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care
    The enhanced usual care is administered by a patient educator (PE), a culturally concordant health educator. The PE will drop off written general health education materials. The patient educator will check in with the participant through text messages.
