Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

In partnership with patients, caregivers, advocacy groups and clinicians, the investigators plan to: Aim 1: Adapt and refine PREPARE in Spanish through cognitive interviews with Spanish-speaking Latinos and stakeholders. Aim 2: Conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) to compare the efficacy of PREPARE plus a previously-tested, easy-to-read- AD (intervention) versus the AD alone (control) to: 2a. Engage older Spanish-speaking Latinos in multiple ACP behaviors (i.e., identify and discuss wishes with surrogates and clinicians and complete ADs) measured by self-report, chart review, surrogate reports, and 2b. Direct observation. 2c. Improve self-efficacy and satisfaction with medical decision making. 2d. Determine whether PREPARE efficacy varies by literacy, decision control preferences, and clinician-patient language concordance. Aim 3: Disseminate PREPARE with input from patients, surrogates, and stakeholders.
