Summary

This study looked at how Chinese Americans talk about advance care planning—decisions about end-of-life care—with their families. Researchers interviewed religious leaders, patients with chronic diseases, and family caregivers in Chicago to understand their needs and readiness. The goal is to create a culturally tailored program that supports these important conversations.
