Summary

This project tests a peer mentor intervention to improve outcomes in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The investigators will train peer mentors to deliver social support and to provide information and motivation in order to improve adherence behaviors and self management practices in assigned mentees who are also patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The intervention will consist of a weekly telephone call between mentor and mentee, over a period of 3 months. The study will recruit patients at 7 dialysis facilities (5 in the Bronx, NY and 2 in Nashville, TN) and randomize the patients to the peer mentorship intervention versus usual care. The primary outcome will be the sum of number of emergency department visits and hospitalizations during 3 months of intervention and 9 or 15 months of follow-up observation.
