Summary

This study looks at whether group visits in primary care can help adults aged 70 and older complete advance care planning documents, like living wills. About 516 participants will either join two 2-hour group discussions or receive mailed resources. The goal is to see if the group approach leads to more people having their healthcare wishes on file.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ENACT group visit (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that group discussions in primary care are an effective way to help older adults document their healthcare wishes.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a medical treatment. The outcome depends on patient participation and may not apply to all populations or settings.
