Summary
The investigators will test the hypothesis that culturally congruent coaching delivered via a technology application (Health360x) will improve the persistent disparities observed among women of color with lupus or lupus nephritis by addressing underlying psychosocial barriers to behavioral change.
Detailed Description
The investigators' proposed intervention combines technology with culturally congruent coaching (C3) to increase access and engagement of women of color with lupus through remote instruction. The investigators will test the hypothesis that culturally congruent coaching delivered via a technology application (Health360x) will improve the persistent disparities observed among women of color with lupus or lupus nephritis by addressing underlying psychosocial barriers to behavioral change. The investigators will attain this by connecting patients to extensively trained coaches who have lived experiences that clinicians and providers often lack. These shared social and cultural experiences breeds trust and allows for more open communication that the coach can use to provide more appropriate guidance. Leveraging technology, the investigators' program is asynchronous, promotes engagement and retention of information through micro-learning, and allows the investigators to better understand patient experiences beyond structured surveys by capturing what is happening in the patient-coach relationship.
