The intervention group had health coaching and usual care, while the control group had usual care only. During the 6 months, there was a significant improvement in kidney function in those patients who experienced significant worsening of eGFR prior to enrollment.

In addition, concurrent use of nutrition supplements at baseline is an essential factor in the effectiveness of intervention in this study. Based on the results of this study, health coaching may help protect kidney function for some patients with type 2 diabetes with early-stage CKD. It should raise awareness and attention to early-stage CKD and public education on the proper use of healthy nutrition supplements.

Implementation science tools and concepts can facilitate the development of more effective interventions against health misinformation by leveraging advances in behavior specification, uptake of evidence, and theory-guided development and evaluation of complex interventions. We conducted a scoping review of misinformation literature reviews to document whether and how important concepts from implementation science have already informed the study of misinformation. Of 90 included reviews, the most frequently identified implementation science concepts were consideration of mechanisms driving misinformation (78%) and ways to intervene on, reduce, avoid, or circumvent it (71%). Other implementation science concepts were discussed much less frequently, such as tailoring strategies to the relevant context (9%) or public involvement in intervention development (9%). Less than half of reviews (47%) were guided by any theory, model, or framework. Among the 26 reviews that cited existing theories, most used theory narratively (62%) or only mentioned/cited the theory (19%), rather than using theory explicitly to interpret results (15%) or to inform data extraction (12%).

Various forms of media, such as film, can educate audiences and play a role in reducing stigma, but the effectiveness of such interventions in changing individuals' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) requires further exploration. This study assessed the impact of a film on diabetes and homelessness through pre- and post-surveys of audience members (<i>n</i> = 202) at 12 screening events. The surveys measured changes in KAB through Likert scale questions, with scores ranging from 1 to 5. Statistical analyses, including Wilcoxon signed-rank and Kruskal-Wallis tests, were used to assess differences in KAB before and after viewing the film, as well as variations based on prior familiarity with diabetes and homelessness. Respondents' knowledge increased significantly across all topics related to both diabetes and homelessness. There were significant differences in all questions that assessed respondents' attitudes. Notably, respondents' beliefs changed significantly to be more positive, except for a single question where the pre-scores already demonstrated reasonably high baseline knowledge. In several domains, respondents familiar with diabetes did not have as significant of a change compared with individuals who were less familiar with diabetes at baseline.
