Summary
This project has three specific aims: (1) culturally tailor the content of the Make Your Wishes about You (MY WAY) ACP curriculum and guide for one American Indian tribe; (2) assess the feasibility of the culturally-tailored MY WAY ACP curriculum and patient education guide with the tribe; and (3) examine preliminary outcomes of the culturally-tailored MY WAY ACP curriculum and guide with 70 tribal members. Upon successful completion, it is expected that this project will develop a feasible culturally-tailored MY WAY that through a quasi-experimental waitlist design shows promise as an efficacious program with respect to self-efficacy, readiness, and ACP completion that increases facilitators and decreases barriers to ACP.
