Increasing engagement in advance care planning using a behaviour change model: study protocol for the STAMP randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Advance care planning (ACP) is a key component of high-quality end-of-life care but is underused. Interventions based on models of behaviour change may fill an important gap in available programmes to increase ACP engagement. Such interventions are designed for broad outreach and flexibility in delivery. The purpose of the Sharing and Talking about My Preferences study is to examine the efficacy of three behaviour change approaches to increasing ACP engagement through two related randomised controlled trials being conducted in different settings (Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centre and community).

Methods and analysis

Eligible participants are 55 years or older. Participants in the community are being recruited in person in primary care and specialty outpatient
