 Receiving supportive mentoring from well-adjusted individuals who share similar experiences has had a positive influence on adjustment with some chronic diseases. In this study, patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and caregivers of such patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1 face-to-face PFPPindividuals will receive six months of PFPP peer-mentoring, along with an informational text; 2 online PFPPindividuals will receive six months of online peer-mentoring modeled after the PFPP program, along with an informational text; and 3 information-only control groupindividuals will receive the text of the material provided to the other two groups. The study teams decision to include an online version is based on suggestions by previous participants who indicated that this would be convenient for individuals for whom distance and geographic location are major considerations of participation.
