1 Controlling Hypertension Through Education and Coaching in Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious and growing public health problem. The purpose of this study is to find out if an educational worksheet, called the Encounter Decision Intervention (EDI), combined with health coaching helps CKD patients improve their blood pressure and other health outcomes. The research team hypothesizes that the intervention group will have greater improvement in CKD outcomes than the control group.

3 Online, Home-based, Aerobic Training Program Among Adolescents With Chronic Diseases During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Data show that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms can be severe in 4% and 3% of the adolescents aged 11-15 years and ≥ 16 years, respectively. In addition, the prevalence of chronic diseases among adolescents has increased in the last years. About 20% of the adolescents have some chronic disease, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. In march, 2020, the quarantine was officially implemented in Sao Paulo, while elective medical appointments for adolescents with chronic disease were temporarily suspended. To mitigate the deleterious effect of the social isolation on physical and mental health among these patients, this study aims to test the effects of an online, home-based, exercise training program.
