Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This Interventional clinical study aims to explore how receiving information about their health and physical abilities affects the treatment decisions of older adults. The study will look at whether sharing detailed assessments of their health and functional status helps older adults better understand their condition and make informed decisions about their care. The main question it aims to answer is if providing this information changes the treatment priorities of older adults, helping them focus on what matters most to them in their medical care.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Absolute change in QQ-Length of life from baseline to post-intervention
- timeFrame
- From baseline questionnaire at enrollment to post intervention questionnaire at an average of 4 weeks after enrollment.
- description
- The QQ uses a 5-point Likert scale to rate each of the 4 questions on the QQ-L subscale. The scores for this subscale are then summed, meaning that patients will receive a score ranging from 4-20 for the QQ-L. The total score from the 4 QQ-L items measures the strength of a participant's preference for length of life, with higher scores meaning greater preference for length of life.
