Abstract
Advance Care Planning involves having conversations, completing documents detailing individuals’ end-of life treatment and care preferences, and appointing legal proxies who make health, lifestyle, or financial decisions. Although beneficial outcomes have been demonstrated, community rates of Advance Care Planning remain low. We developed a theoretically based workshop to increase knowledge and change behaviors in relation to Advance Care Planning; 347 participants completed the workshop. Advance Care Planning knowledge and action significantly improved three months post workshop. The intervention increased Advance Care Planning knowledge and changed behaviors.
