Assessment of Feelings Towards Advanced Care Planning in the Latino Community.

Background: Previous studies have noted that participation in advanced care planning (ACP) and end-of-life (EOL) discussions remain low among Latino communities. Various studies have found that interventions within Latino communities can positively improve engagement in ACP, however, minimal research exists regarding patient satisfaction of ACP discussions with healthcare providers outside of preorganized educational interventions. Our study aims to understand how conversations about ACP are perceived by Latino patients in a primary care setting.
