Other related information

This study is an implementation science study (Phase 1) intended to inform the development and evaluation of a multichannel support program to improve chronic kidney disease diagnosis and management in primary care in Japan. An online questionnaire survey of primary care physicians working in clinics in Japan will be conducted to assess their knowledge of chronic kidney disease, current practices in diagnosis, screening, and treatment, and the barriers and support needs associated with routine clinical care.
