Disparities in Advance Care Planning Across Rurality, Sociodemographic Characteristics, and Cognition Levels: Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study
Examining ACP and its linkages to specific social determinants is crucial for understanding disparities and developing effective educational and interventional strategies to enhance ACP uptake among diverse population groups. Future studies are needed to assess whether disparities have improved over the last decade, particularly as 2024 data become available. Addressing ACP disparities is essential for healthcare professionals to advance research and promote effective practices in geriatric care and aging services.
