About the study
The goal of this open pilot is to practice using an intervention and surveys before a larger pilot stepped wedge clinical trial. The intervention the researchers plan to use is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Topics, and it is a structured clinical agenda-setting intervention (SAS), or a customized list of discussion topics. The people the researchers are practicing using the SAS with have advanced CKD (stages 4-5), and many of them live in rural areas. The researchers will practice administering CKD Topics, along with survey questions. By doing the open pilot, the researchers will learn if they need to modify the steps they plan to take in the larger trial.
The main questions the researchers aim to answer are:
* Do the steps for identifying eligible participants work? * Do the steps for administering CKD Topics work? * Do the steps to administer survey questions work?
