"At the End I Have a Say": Engaging the Chinese Community in Advance Care Planning.

Context: Despite the association of advance care planning (ACP) with improved patient and caregiver outcomes, Chinese American elders have low rates of ACP.

Objectives: Assess ACP facilitators/barriers in the San Francisco (SF) Chinese community and codesign, implement, and test community-based ACP-promoting pilot events.

Methods: A Chinese Community Committee (N = 19 community-based organization leaders, health system representatives, community members) conducted focus groups in Cantonese and English with Chinese older adults (age ≥55), caregivers, and community leaders.

Heart to Heart Cards: A Novel, Culturally Tailored, Community-Based Advance Care Planning Tool for Chinese Americans.

Context: A paucity of literature describes the growing Chinese American community's end-of-life (EOL) priorities and preferences.

Objective: Develop a culturally-tailored advance care planning (ACP) tool to understand the EOL preferences of this underserved minority group.

Methods: Informed by the Cultural Appropriateness Theory, the Chinese American Coalition for Compassionate Care (CACCC) developed Heart to Heart (HTH) Cards using a 3-step approach.
