Influence of Educational Campaigns on Community Knowledge About Chronic Kidney Disease: Results from a Community-Based Campaign

Key takeaways

A community campaign tried to teach the public about chronic kidney disease, then measured what people knew afterward. Knowledge went up, but this was a before and after survey, not a controlled trial, so it shows a link and not proof that the campaign caused the change. The published record here has no abstract, so the number of people and the size of the gain are not available. Better public awareness may help people get tested earlier, but this study does not measure health outcomes.
