The study design paper for I CAN DO Surgical ACP has been published online in BMJ Open. Congratulations to the study team on reaching this important milestone for all NIH Collaboratory Trials!
I CAN DO Surgical ACP, an NIH Collaboratory Trial, is testing a system-based approach to help older adults undergoing elective surgery engage in advance care planning. Another goal of the study is to understand digital engagement, language, and social drivers of health that drive engagement in the intervention.
The study is being led by Elizabeth Wick and Rebecca Sudore of the University of California, San Francisco, and Genevieve Melton-Meaux of the University of Minnesota and is supported by a grant award from the National Institute on Aging.
