Summary
This study tests two programs to help people aged 75 and older with advanced kidney disease decide on their treatment. One program provides standard information and support, while the other adds a video decision aid and coaching from a specialist. Researchers will compare which approach leads to better decision-making, fewer hospital visits, and improved end-of-life care.
