Advance Care Planning Motivators Among Adults With Serious Illness
In this survey study of adults in the US, we found that ACP discussions with someone close to them were high, yet discussions with clinicians and documentation were low, even among people with serious illness. Our findings offer insights into how people's worries about serious illness care may affect their engagement in ACP, and how to leverage these insights to tailor patient-facing messaging about ACP.
