First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial tests a culturally tailored program called JUMPSTART-ANAI that helps Alaska Native and American Indian adults start conversations about their future healthcare wishes with their primary care providers. Participants fill out a questionnaire about their experiences and concerns, then receive tips to bring up advance care planning at their next visit. The study includes 400 adults aged 40 or older with serious illness, or 65 and older, who have not yet documented advance directives.

What this could lead to

If effective, this approach could help more Alaska Native and American Indian adults document their healthcare wishes, ensuring care aligns with their values.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral intervention in a specific population, so results may not apply broadly. The trial is relatively small and measures outcomes like advance directive completion, which may not capture all benefits.
