Primary Care eHealth Intervention for Improved Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease

This project seeks to improve the health of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by developing and testing an electronic health intervention (that will combine secure e--mail, smartphone text message, and online video materials) to promote patient use of effective medications. The information we collect on the electronic health intervention will guide future research, including a larger trial and other studies among related patient groups (e.g., racial minorities) and diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes mellitus). The project has the potential to improve health outcomes for the millions of patients with CKD who are not yet receiving effective medications.
