Examining racial differences in the informal discussion of advance care planning among older adults : application of the Andersen model of health care utilization

Article indépendant

SUNTAI, Zainab | NOH, Hyunjin | WON, Cho Rong

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine racial differences in the discussion of advance care planning among older adults using Andersen's behavioral model of health care utilization. METHOD: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2018 National Health and Aging Trends Study. Weighted multivariable logistic regressions were used to predict advance care planning discussion (n = 1,326). RESULTS: After accounting for predisposing, enabling, and need factors, Black older adults were less likely to discuss end-of-life care (odds ratio [OR] = .527) and medical power of attorney (OR = .531) compared with Whites. Hispanic older adults were also less likely to discuss end-of-life care (OR = .389) and power of attorney (OR = .384) compared with Whites. DISCUSSION: These results point to significant racial disparities in advance care planning discussions among older adults and call for future examinations of cultural, historical, and systemic factors that could influence the discussion of advance care planning among this population.
