NAVIGATE Kidney: A Multi-level Intervention to Reduce Kidney Health Disparities (NCT06810622)

Navigate Kidney: A Multi-level Intervention to Reduce Kidney Health Disparities Among Individuals With Kidney Disease

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 🧠 Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The overarching goal of this project is to refine and adapt previous work on the NAVIGATE-Kidney project for individuals with CKD. The investigators hypothesize that the multilevel NAVIGATE-Kidney program intervention will reduce the rate of central venous catheter use at KRT start (primary outcome), increase the rate of optimal KRT starts (secondary outcome), increase patient activation, and reduce decisional conflict (patient-centered outcomes) for individuals with advanced CKD. The project will have four (4) aims.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (4 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (12 items).
