Summary

The overall objective of this study is to reduce the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its consequences for an aging U.S. population. To accomplish this, the investigators propose to conduct a multi-center randomized trial of an advance care planning (ACP) video intervention (vs. usual care) among older patients with CKD.

Conditions

  • Palliative Care

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Advance Care Planning Video Decision Aid

The video decision aid explores ACP options for medical care for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and reviews hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, as well as medical management without dialysis; it also reviews cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Patients will also audio- or video-record their preferences using a tablet.
