Study Summary
African Americans are less likely to receive quality end-of-life (EoL) care. Addressing disparities in EoL care will need efforts to support a better understanding of African American patients' EoL cultural values and preferences for EoL communication and the impact of historical and ongoing care delivery inequities in healthcare settings. Our proposed "Caring for Older African Americans" training program is designed to empower clinicians to improve goal-concordant EoL care delivery by using community-developed storytelling videos to create empathy with experiences of racism in EoL care, guidelines for culturally concordant EoL care delivery, and an implicit bias recognition and management training to mitigate bias in goals of care communication.
Primary Outcome
The Human Connection (THC) Scale is a summary score of item responses such that a higher total score indicates greater therapeutic alliance. Possible scores range from 16 to 64. The 16-item THC scale had a high degree of internal consistency (Cronbach α= 90).
