About this study

In plain language

This study tests a 12-week education and support program for Black or African American adults in the hospital with advanced chronic kidney disease. The program helps people learn about kidney care, find care, and manage their health. Participants are assigned by chance to the program or to usual care with added support.

Intensive Patient Referral and Education Program prior to Renal Replacement Therapy (iPREP-RRT) is a 12-week intervention that identifies hospitalized African Americans with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and provides them with hospital- and community-based education, navigation and self-management support. Participants will be randomized to the iPREP-RRT intervention versus enhanced usual care.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
