Official title
REducing Disparities in the QUALity of Palliative Care for Older African Americans Through Improved Advance Care Planning (EQUAL ACP)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study compares the effectiveness of two different approaches to advance care planning among older African Americans and older Whites living in the community. The two approaches are a structured approach with an advance care planning conversation led by a trained person using Respecting Choices (First Steps) and a patient-driven approach which includes a Five Wishes advance care planning form written in plain language. The study will determine which approach is more effective at increasing advance care planning within each racial group and reducing differences between the two groups in advance care planning.
