Summary

Empowering Patients On Choices for Renal Replacement Therapy (EPOCH-RRT) study seeks to identify factors that matter the most to patients with kidney disease and study how they are impacted by different types of dialysis. The inclusion of patients, caregivers, and patient advocacy organizations as research partners will assure that the study addresses questions of greatest relevance to patients facing the need for dialysis.

For Aim 3, the investigators are going to compare measures related to the decision-making process between patients receiving and not receiving a decision aid focusing on Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis.

Decision Aid

Decision-making outcomes (e.g., self-efficacy) will be compared between patients who received and did not receive a decision aid. These arms were chosen because the current standard of care is for health care providers to discuss options with patients without using a decision aid.
