Controlling Hypertension Through Education and Coaching in Kidney Disease

Patients in the control group will receive Control-EDI from their primary care provider during clinic visit. Subsequent patient CKD education and follow-up will be provider dependent. Patients will be called and reminded of their study visits at 1, 6, 12 months to complete study measures, BP checks, and give urine and blood samples (baseline and 12-month visit only).

There is also a space for their provider to type in a sentence about specific goals for the patient.~Health coaches will conduct a baseline call and 4-6 coaching calls, based on patient's needs, over an 11-month period.
