Official title
Using Community Health Workers and Trauma-Informed Care Training for Clinicians to Improve Kidney Disease Outcomes in a Diverse Urban Community
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Black and Hispanic people face higher risks of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but have unequal access to the highest-quality kidney care. Black adults with CKD face 1.5 times higher hospitalization risks than non-Black adults with CKD. Once reaching end stage kidney disease (ESKD), Black patients are half as likely to receive a transplant and are often excluded from home dialysis. Structural racism creates complex barriers to optimal CKD care, providing an explanation for these findings. The Penn Medicine IMPaCT Community Health Worker (CHW) program is a rigorously tested approach to employ people from local communities to dismantle structural racism within health care systems and improve outcomes for marginalized patients. This trial will innovate by training CHWs to focus specifically on CKD care for minoritized people. The investigators will also train primary care clinicians caring for CKD patients on how to provide trauma-informed care (TIC). The first aim is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and reach of a clinic-level TIC training to address the needs and concerns of Black and other minoritized patients. The second aim will be to conduct a three arm trial comparing individuals in usual care to individuals randomized to either our tailored CHW intervention in conjunction with clinic-level TIC training or to clinic-level TIC intervention only. The investigators will examine whether patients in the intervention arms have greater improvements in quality of life (primary). The investigators will also explore the impact of the interventions on patient activation, hospitalizations, and ESKD treatment preferences.
