Summary

This study explores whether a culturally adapted conversation game, called the Hello game, can help members of the Washoe Tribe engage in advance care planning (ACP). Researchers will first hold talking circles to understand tribal beliefs and then test the game in group settings. Participants will complete questionnaires and follow up after 3 months to see if they have completed advance directives. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and feasible for this community.
