Interventions

BEHAVIORALCommunityRx-Kidney Health

CommunityRx-Kidney Health (CRx-K) is an evidence-based, low-intensity, health information technology-driven intervention designed to support chronic kidney disease management in rural eastern North Carolina. CRx-K integrates medical (e.g., blood pressure and glucose monitoring, eye and foot care), social (food, housing, transportation), and self-care (weight and stress management, exercise) resources. CRx-K comprises three components: brief education on integrated chronic kidney disease needs, a personalized community resource referral list (HealtheRx), and clinic navigator-led, longitudinal support (12 months) for chronic kidney disease patients.
