Effectiveness of Engaging in Advance Care Planning Talks (ENACT) Group Visits in Primary Care for Older Adults With and Without Alzheimer's Disease
This trial tests whether group conversations about advance care planning, led by a geriatrician and social worker in a primary care setting, help older adults better document and communicate their medical wishes. Two 2-hour group sessions are compared against simply mailing people written materials. This is a Phase NA behavioral study, meaning it evaluates a care delivery approach rather than a drug or device.
