Respecting Choices® and advance directives in a diverse community.

Background: Respecting Choices® is a program designed and verified to improve advance care planning, yet it has not been tested in racially/ethnically diverse communities. Research has shown racial/ethnic minorities are less likely to have advance directives (ADs).

Objective: To determine whether Respecting Choices® would improve AD prevalence and utilization in a racially and ethnically diverse community.
