What this Trial Is About
This research aims to compare two types of advance directive forms available in English and Spanish to find out which one patients find easier to use. It focuses on adults interested in completing advance directives and able to read and write in these languages. The study is designed to gather patient preferences regarding these forms to improve clarity and patient-centeredness in advance care planning. Participants will be randomly assigned to complete either the Stanford letter advance directive (intervention group) or the California state traditional advance directive (control group). After completing the assigned form, participants will answer questions about how much they liked and understood the document. The study involves no medical treatments, only questionnaires to assess ease of use and patient preferences. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires about the forms they used, including how well the forms describe decision-making, treatment preferences, and future care wishes. Researchers will collect data from up to 1000 participants and analyze results to determine which advance directive is more user-friendly. The study includes follow-up measures over about one year to capture participant feedback and form ease of use.
