The Agenda-Setting for Kidney Disease Open Pilot Trial

Setting the Agenda: An Open Pilot of a Structured Clinical Visit Agenda-Setting Intervention for Rural-Residing People With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease

Sponsor

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

May 19, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 4

Summary

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?

Interventions

BEHAVIORALChronic Kidney Disease Structured Agenda-Setting Tool

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Topics is a novel clinical visit agenda-setting intervention developed through participatory research methods for people with CKD living in rural areas. CKD Topics includes 8 structured discussion topic areas with the option for patients to consider and indicate their priority topic areas and take notes before, during, and after a clinical visit.
