Consent to Participate in a Research Study
CONCISE SUMMARYThe purpose of the study is to build a Community APOLl Research Engagement project (CARE) to promote community engagement & translational research. We will build CARE to help increase participation of African Americans in clinical research trials. With this local registry, we will establish a pathway to support APOLl patient-oriented research while providing chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening and referrals to nephrology for high-risk patients.
You will have one screening visit for collection of a blood and urine sample. The risk for the study includes the risk of the blood draw including momentary discomfort and possible bruising. We will screen all participants for CKD by measuring Urine Albumin Creatine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); and for diabetes by measuring AlC. wWe will also measure and record blood pressure (BP) of all participants. Individuals with UACR ratio 2: 300 mg/g and eGFR 2:30 ml/min/1. 73m2 will be eligible for enrolment in the CARE project in addition to some other inclusion and exclusion criteria. This will enable you to participate in future clinical research studies.
Individuals with positive CKD screen result who currently have primary care physicians (PCP) will be given a written report of their UARC, eGFR, and BP to give to their PCP for appropriate follow up and evaluation for nephrology referral. Individuals without healthcare insurance or without a PCP will be referred to free nephrology clinics at Duke.

WHY IS THIS STUDY BEING DONE?The purpose of the study is to build a Community APOLl Research Engagement project (CARE) for community engagement & translational research. We will CARE to help increase participation of African Americans in clinical research trials. With this registry, we will establish a pathway to support APOLl patient-oriented research while providing chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening and referrals to nephrology for high-risk patients.
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL TAKE PART IN THIS STUDY?Approximately 500 people will enrolled into this registry at Duke University Health System. We expect to screen up to 5000 people in order to recruit the final 500 eligible participants.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE STUDY?
If you agree to be in this study, you will be asked to sign and date this consent form. You will have the following tests and procedures to make sure that you are eligible:
Blood test and urine test to measure your kidney function. We will screen all participants for CKD by measuring Urine Albumin Creatine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR). Saliva collection will be used to test for the presence of high-risk APOLl genotype. Blood pressure (BP), height and weight will be collected on all participants. Two tubes of blood, approximately two tablespoons, will be obtained. Two ounces of urine will be collected by you in a sterile urine cup. Saliva will be collected by asking you to spit into a sterile saliva collection container.
Based on your screening results and other inclusion and exclusion criteria, you will be enrolled in the CARE registry for clinical research studies. Being in the registry does not automatically enroll you in a research study. You will be asked to participate in additional studies as a part of the cohort.
Additionally, the Duke Research Equity and Diversity Initiative (READI) aims to better understand and improve participants' experiences in research studies. If you agree to share your contact information (name and email address), you may be invited to share additional information on your experience (e.g., through surveys). Sharing your contact information is completely optional and does not impact your participation in this study. Please indicate if you are willing to share your contact information:
* must provide value
Yes, I am willing to share my contact information with the READI project.

WILL MY INFORMATION BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL?
Participation in research involves some loss of privacy. We will do our best to make sure that information about you is kept confidential, but we cannot guarantee total confidentiality. Your personal information may be viewed by individuals involved in this research and may be seen by people including those collaborating, funding, and regulating the study. We will share only the minimum necessary information in order to conduct the research. Your personal information may also be given out if required by law.
As part of the study, results of your study-related laboratory tests, and procedures may be reported to the NIH. In addition, your records may be reviewed in order to meet federal or state regulations. In addition to the NIH, reviewers may include the Duke University Health System Institutional Review Board, and others as appropriate. If any of these groups review your research record, they may also need to review your entire medical record. Results of tests and studies done solely for this research study and not as part of your regular care will not be included in your medical record.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a Certificate of Confidentiality to further protect your privacy. With this Certificate, the investigators may not disclose research information that may identify you in any Federal, State, or local civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or other proceedings, unless you have consented for this use. Research information protected by this Certificate cannot be disclosed to anyone else who is not connected with the research unless:
1) there is a law that requires disclosure (such as to report child abuse or communicable diseases but not for legal proceedings); subjects.
Disclosure is required, however, for audit or program evaluation requested by the agency that is funding this project or for information that is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You should understand that a Confidentiality Certificate does not prevent you or a member of your family from voluntarily releasing information about yourself or your involvement in this research. If you want your research information released to an insurer, medical care provider, or any other person not connected with the research, you must provide consent to allow the researchers to release it. This means that you and your family must also actively protect your own privacy. All of the blood and urine studies are being done only because you are in this study. The study results will be retained in your research record for six years.
This information may be further disclosed by the sponsor of this study. If disclosed by the sponsor, the information is no longer covered by federal privacy regulations. If this information is disclosed to outside reviewers for audit purposes, it may be further disclosed by them and may not be covered by federal privacy regulations.
Some people or groups who receive your health information might not have to follow the same privacy rules. Once your information is shared outside ofDUHS, we cannot guarantee that it will remain private. If you decide to share private information with anyone not involved in the study, the federal law designed to protect your health information privacy may no longer apply to the information you have shared. Other laws may or may not protect sharing of private health information.
