Clarissa Ferguson presented at the AGS Annual Meeting

Clarissa Ferguson, MPH, presented at the 2023 AGS conference about the development and pilot-testing of a new, online, caregivers-facing program called PREPARE for THEIR Care. She also presented her first oral paper presentation about how action plans increase advance care planning. She discussed how among English and Spanish speaking older adults with high rates of limited health literacy, 43% were able to complete their action plan, action plan completion was less likely among participants with limited health literacy, and creating an advance care planning action plan resulted in greater advance care planning electronic medical record documentation and self-reported engagement. She would like to thank Dr. Rebecca Sudore, Dr. Lingsheng Li, and the PREPARE team.
