American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, 10/28/09
Yancu CN et al. – Almost all participants indicated (91%) willingness to use hospice, particularly if the hospice team were diverse (77%). Most are without a living will (72%) or health care power of attorney (81%); approximately half (54%) have shared final care wishes. Despite evidence of a willingness to use hospice, African Americans were unlikely to complete advanced directives or share final care wishes. However, many were more likely to use hospice if the care team were diverse suggesting the importance of culture.
