SUCCESS is a multi-component app-based intervention designed to build health literacy capacity and enable shared decision-making for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those with lower health literacy and/or from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The app combines known effective behaviour change methodologies with best-practice health literacy principles to support informed and shared decision-making across the Stage 5 CKD trajectory. The feasibility of implementing the intervention across four New South Wales Local Health Districts was established in a study funded by Sydney Health Partners. We are currently leading a cluster-randomised trial of SUCCESS funded by NSW Health and Medical Research Translational Research Grant Scheme. 400 participants have been recruited to date.
