Support Program to Reduce Sitting Time in Black Adults Aged 35 to 80 with Chronic Kidney Disease

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating an intervention aimed at helping Black adults with chronic kidney disease CKD reduce their sedentary time, such as sitting. The study compares a 12-week intervention designed to decrease sitting time against an attention control group that receives CKD-related education unrelated to sedentary behavior. The purpose is to assess whether the intervention can effectively support behavior change in this population. The intervention includes four main components health coaching, feedback charts on sedentary behavior, a workbook, and reminders or cues to encourage less sitting. Participants are randomly assigned either to this intervention group or to the control group receiving educational content about CKD. Both groups are followed for a total of 12 weeks to monitor changes. During the study, participants will have their sedentary time measured from the start until week 12. Researchers will also assess self-reported sedentary time and health-related quality of life over the same period. Participants will be supported through telephone access and will engage with coaching and educational materials. The study does not involve masking and will track outcomes related to sedentary behavior changes and quality of life improvements.
