Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of an individually transtheoretical model (TTM) tailored intervention on the completion of advance care planning (ACP) behaviors.

Detailed description

This will be a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of an individually TTM-tailored intervention on the proportion of middle-age and older persons recruited from primary care practices who complete four ACP behaviors (completion of a living will, assignment of a health care proxy, and communication with loved ones and with their clinician about views on quality versus quantity of life) over six months, compared with usual care.

Interventions

TypeNameDescription
BEHAVIORALTranstheoretical Model (TTM) of health behavior changeParticipants are assessed for four different behaviors that together represent complete ACP engagement: communication with loved ones about views on quality of life versus quantity of life, communication with clinicians about views on quality of life versus quantity of life, assignment of a health care surrogate, and completion of a living will. The system takes the results of the assessment and results in an individualized feedback report. For individuals in early stages of change for a given behavior, the feedback focuses on changing attitudes, a necessary prerequisite for changing behavior, by addressing common barriers and by reminding individuals they can engage in small steps.
OTHERUsual CareParticipants are assessed for four different behaviors that together represent complete ACP engagement: communication with loved ones about views on quality of life versus quantity of life, communication with clinicians about views on quality of life versus quantity of life, assignment of a health care surrogate, and completion of a living will. Participants in this group will not receive any components of the TTM intervention.
