Description

Peiyuan Zhang, Fei Sun, and Jen Hirsch ask what blocks advance care planning talks among Chinese American older adults, in a 2023 study. A 2018 survey reached 281 community dwelling adults aged fifty five and over in Arizona and Maryland. Most were first generation immigrants who spoke mainly Chinese. Only about a quarter had held such talks with family.

More perceived barriers meant lower odds of talking. Longer time in the United States and stronger English skills raised the odds. Social support softened the drag of barriers. The authors call for translated materials, language services, and community guides who share the culture.
