Article Synopsis
- Advance care planning aims to give individuals control over healthcare decisions when they’re unable to communicate, but participation rates are notably low among American Indian and Alaska Native populations, prompting the need for a culturally tailored intervention called MY WAY.
- The project involved a partnership with an American Indian Tribe and used a community-based approach, implementing a 15-step process for culturally tailoring the program to respect the community's norms, preferences, family dynamics, and spiritual beliefs.
- The results highlighted a four-phase framework that prioritized listening and learning from the community, leading to the development of culturally appropriate materials that received high ratings for relevance and content validity, with hopes of guiding future culturally-informed health programs.
