Abstract
Patient navigator programs may improve outcomes among individuals with chronic kidney disease by reducing barriers to evidence-based care. The NAVKIDS<sup>2</sup> trial evaluated a patient navigation program among 162 children with chronic kidney disease from marginalized populations. The intervention was not associated with quantitative changes in self-reported health, but qualitative data indicated substantial benefit in alleviating caregiver strain and facilitating care coordination. Future studies should identify quantitative measures that capture the benefits experienced by patients in care coordination, empowerment, and self-management.
