A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a pilot interventional study evaluating a nurse-led, virtual education and support program called CARES for adults with diabetes and early-stage CKD. Participants receive a 1:1 virtual session about a week before a primary care visit and complete surveys by phone three times over three months. The study compares CARES to a control group receiving general diabetes information to see if the program improves motivation, self-efficacy, knowledge about CKD, and use of support services. Outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and changes in patient-reported measures as well as potential effects on CKD-related care engagement. Enrollment targets adults 18+ with diabetes and CKD stage 3 who have had at least one prior visit at UIHealth primary care clinics and can speak English.
