Improving Screening and Therapy for Hispanic/Latinx at Risk for CKD
Sponsor: Duke University
Summary
In Aim 1 of this study, the investigators will utilize community organizations to screen Hispanics/Latino(a)s for kidney disease, diabetes, and other risk factors, and refer them for care with a PCP. In Aim 2, the investigators will implement an intervention in local health clinics to assist PCPs with screening and treating Hispanic and Black patients with diabetes. Completion of the project will hopefully slow progression of kidney disease among Hispanic/Latino(a) and Black patients in Durham, and the information gained will allow the investigators to eventually perform the intervention on a larger scale.
