First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether group education sessions can help veterans with newly diagnosed cancer discuss their goals of care and complete advance directives. Fifty veterans will attend two virtual or in-person sessions led by a trained health educator. Researchers will check if this approach improves documentation of care preferences and makes veterans feel more heard by their medical team.

Active substance
group advance care planning education sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help veterans feel more heard and understood by their care teams and ensure their treatment wishes are documented.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The intervention is educational, so it won't directly treat cancer or extend life.
