Summary

The goal of this two-armed, parallel-design, pre-/post-intervention assessment clinical trial is to learn if a digital and interactive website helps to improve advance care planning (ACP) engagement among caregivers of patients with serious illness. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the website increase ACP engagement of caregivers of patients with serious illness? Researchers will compare the digital and interactive website to the usual care (a digital booklet) to see if the digital intervention works to improve ACP engagement among caregivers. Participants who are caregivers will: * Be introduced to a digital website and asked to explore the site over the course of the study. * Complete four self-administered questionnaires (baseline, one-week, six-week, and six-month). Participants who are patients will not have any intervention assigned and will only have their observational data collected through four interviewer-administered questionnaires (baseline, one-week, six-week, and six-month)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Careverse	Careverse is a digital psychoeducational website designed to assist caregivers and patients to clarify their values, end-of-life preferences, enable surrogates to further their understanding of the patient's wishes, and prepare surrogates for the role and responsibilities of a medical decision maker. The intervention consists of values elicitation tools, educational materials, and testimonies. The participants will receive guides on how to initiate/re-introduce discussions about end-of-life wishes with their loved ones and clinicians.
