Measure
Advance Care Planning Experimental
Community Information Session on advance care planning and private one-on-one Sharing Session about advance care planning. Advance Care Planning: Community Information Session and Private Sharing Session with trained social worker
Advance Care Planning Waitlist
Waitlist Group- Baseline control measures will be collected at the same time as Cohort 1 completes their pretest. Six Months after Cohort 1, participants will be pretested again before attending a Community Information Session on advance care planning and an one-on-one Sharing Session about Advance Care Planning.

Advance Care Planning Waitlist (Cohort 2)
n=41 Participants
Waitlist Group- Baseline control measures collected at consent, and again 3-6 months later before attending a Community Information Session on advance care planning and a one-on-one Sharing Session about Advance Care Planning. Data also collected 8 weeks post intervention.
Advance Care Planning Experimental Cohort 2
Participants in this arm had a baseline survey and then were waitlisted for the intervention for approximately 3-6 months, and were given a post-test 5-8 months after the 1st baseline (8 weeks after intervention).
