Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Will there be an increase in home dialysis selection or initiation over study follow up?
* Will there be a change in patient reported status of Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs) and patient engagement at 1 year follow up?
Researchers will compare the intervention group that will include interdisciplinary care (IDC) and the integration of a Community Health Worker (CHW) into the chronic kidney disease (CKD) care process to the IDC only control group. The research team will assess whether the intervention led to better social care navigation, enhanced patient engagement, and increased home dialysis use.

Study Groups

CHW facilitated social care navigation and peer support as part of IDC
Patients will receive community health worker (CHW) facilitated social care navigation and peer support around kidney replacement therapy (KRT) decision-making as part of their interdisciplinary care (IDC) for CKD, up to 1 year.
Participants will complete surveys, questionnaires, or interviews at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.
CHOOSE Home Intervention
Integration of a CHW (Community Health Worker) in the CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) care process to augment patient engagement and address HRSNs (Health-Related Social Needs) within the context of an IDC (Interdisciplinary Care) CKD clinic. The multifaceted components of the intervention are tailored to address key care delivery and social barriers to home dialysis utilization before implementation.
IDC alone
Patients will receive IDC (Interdisciplinary Care) only. They will not receive CHW (Community Health Worker) facilitated peer support and social care navigation.
Participants will complete surveys, questionnaires, or interviews at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.
Usual Care
This is the usual interdisciplinary care that patients would typically receive for their chronic kidney disease. A key missing factor here is the lack of a community health worker. Patients in this group will be screened for health-related social needs and receive general information on ways to access social services from a study coordinator. Patients will not receive facilitated peer support and social care navigation from the Community Health Worker.
