The experience of individuals living with alcohol use disorder within palliative care and end of life services: A scoping review

Given the limited research on the management of AUD within PC settings, this review highlights the need for further investigation. While the findings suggest potential priorities for future research and clinical practice, including improved AUD screening, enhanced training for PC providers, and earlier, patient-centered EOL planning. These findings should be interpreted with caution, as they are based on a small number of studies, most of which are case reports. Addressing these gaps may enhance the quality of care and outcomes for individuals with AUD at the EOL.
