Refinement and Pilot Testing of the "My Health Priorities" Program for Rural and Underserved Older Adults With Multiple Chronic Conditions in the Deep South (MyHP-South)

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the revised My Health Priorities (MyHP) program among rural and underserved older adults with multiple chronic conditions in the Deep South. The program is designed to help participants clarify their health-related values, as well as improve communication with family caregivers and healthcare providers to support medical decision-making. The main question this study aims to answer is whether the revised MyHP program is practical/easy for individuals to use, and if it helps support necessary conversations about healthcare priorities. Participants will be asked to complete the revised MyHP program over a Zoom or in-person session with their caregiver, as well as complete questionnaires over a telephone interview before and 12 weeks after the completion of the program. In addition to participating in the MyHP program, caregivers will also be asked to complete a series of questionnaires over a telephone interview before and 12 weeks after the program. Both patients and caregivers will also be asked to complete a brief survey about their experience with the program over a telephone interview.
