PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 3 months

Population: Analyzed as dyad. If one individual of the dyad did not complete study procedures, those results were not analyzed. One AYA assigned to standard care did not have a caregiver that was able to participate. One AYA of a caregiver assigned to video decision aid was unable to participate. As the unit of measurement was the DYAD, these two individuals (one standard arm, one video) were not analyzed although they did complete enrollment and baseline and follow-up assessments (but not 3 month)

AYA with advanced cancer and caregivers randomized to the video will have higher concordance in their stated goals of care between patients and caregivers at 3 month compared to baseline

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 3 months

Population: AYA participants that had data at 3-month follow-up

Patients randomized to the video will have more ACP conversations and documentation after 3 months.
