Proposed Collection: Evaluation of a Kidney Disease Education
Program with Promotores in the Hispanic Community, 0925-NEW, National
Kidney Disease Education Program, National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: NKDEP is developing a
kidney disease education program to raise awareness among the Hispanic
community at risk for kidney disease. Since diabetes is the most common
cause of kidney disease, the program is being developed for inclusion
in existing diabetes programs being conducted by ``promotores de
salud'' (Spanish/English-speaking community health workers). A pilot
evaluation will assess: (a) Overall quality of the program from the
client and promotor/a perspective, including strengths and weaknesses
of the program and the training, and areas for program improvement; (b)
effectiveness of the program on the clients (the community members
being educated); and (c) effectiveness of materials and training,
including promotores' ability to deliver education to the client and
administer the client pre-test/post-test surveys. The pilot study will
deliver strategic and actionable guidance for refining the educational
and training materials for national dissemination. Based on outcomes
from the pilot study, a national evaluation is planned that will use
the client pre-test/post-test surveys to assess: (a) Knowledge gains
about kidney disease, (b) awareness of NKDEP resources and importance
of kidney health, (c) reported behavior change outcomes and (d)
reported health status.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 101 (see table below).
