What this trial studies

The Intensive Patient Referral and Education Program prior to Renal Replacement Therapy (iPREP-RRT) is a 12-week intervention designed for hospitalized African Americans with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). This program provides hospital- and community-based education, navigation, and self-management support to improve patient knowledge and self-efficacy regarding CKD and renal replacement therapy (RRT) planning. Participants will be randomized to receive either the iPREP-RRT intervention or enhanced usual care, with the aim of enhancing CKD self-management and RRT planning through various communication methods. The study evaluates the effectiveness of both hospital-based and community-based interventions in improving patient outcomes.
