PLAN Intervention to Enhance Engagement of Latino Cancer Patients in Advanced Care Planning

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Locally Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm, Metastatic Malignant Solid Neoplasm

In brief

This trial tests whether Planning for Your Advance Care Needs (PLAN) intervention works to enhance Latino patients' understanding of and engagement in advanced care planning. The PLAN intervention may be an effective method to help people with cancer plan for and talk about advance care planning (the care they would want if they were unable to communicate) with their loved ones and doctors.
