Decision Aids in Kidney Care: The Need for Interventions Addressing Kidney Disease in Marginalized Populations

Models of optimal chronic disease care delivery promote patient education by health care teams to enhance health outcomes.1 For chronic kidney disease (CKD), offering patient education is one important strategy to enhance knowledge about kidney health and increase patient confidence in self-management.
