Using an End-of-life Conversation Game to Engage Underserved Communities in Advance Care Planning

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Advance Care Planning, Vulnerable Populations, Advance Directives, Terminal Illness

In brief

This national project will provide an effective, evidence-based intervention for advance care planning (ACP) to 50 underserved US communities, those with poor access to healthcare systems due to economic, cultural or other barriers. The project will also examine 15 of the 50 communities to learn about the unique needs of African American communities in regards to ACP and to assess the intervention with this population. The team includes the Hospice Foundation of America and a university-based research team from Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
