Helping Empower Liver and Kidney Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hepatitis C, Chronic Kidney Diseases, Patient Education

In brief

The overall purpose of this study is to develop and test a web-based decision aid (DA) to support patients with Hepatitis C and Chronic Kidney Disease during decisions about whether, when, and how to treat each illness. Patients will have the opportunity to learn about their hepatitis C and kidney disease, initiate thought about what matters most to them and choose a treatment plan for their liver and kidney disease that works best for them. Investigators will evaluate the tool's efficacy, usability, and the likelihood of using it in clinical practice. There are three (3) primary aims of this project: (1) to develop the DA; (2) to pilot-test the DA to determine efficacy, usability and likelihood of using it in routine practice; (3) to explore stakeholders feedback on the usefulness of the DA and likelihood of implementing the tool.
