Brining Korean American Community Members Together for Advance Care Planning: Older Adults, Surrogate Decision-Makers, and Health Care Providers.

Ninety-one Korean American older adults and 24 surrogate decision-makers participated in the educational workshop.

Among Korean American older adults, greater behavioral improvements were associated with willingness to share end-of-life care preferences with surrogates (OR = 1.24, p = .012) and to meet with health care providers (OR = 1.22, p < .001).

Despite these improvements, only 27 of 91 Korean American older adults (29.67%) involved surrogates in the advance care planning process.

Although the initiative did not significantly increase meetings between older adults and their surrogates or providers, it did promote greater willingness to engage in end-of-life care discussions compared with previous studies.
