Hello (serious game)

Commercially available, 'Hello' 32 is a serious game that consists of 32 questions prompting players to share their values, goals, and beliefs about end-of-life issues. The creators developed the questions following interviews with palliative care clinicians, hospice nurses, and funeral directors, and then revised them through a series focus groups with \>100 patients/caregivers from diverse backgrounds.

BEHAVIORAL

The Conversation Project (CP) Starter Kit

"The CP Starter Kit is one of the most widely promoted and disseminated ACP tools nationwide, is available for free online, and does not require a healthcare professional for use. Like 'Hello', it is intended to help individuals have end-of-life conversations with loved ones. The 11-page workbook has open- ended prompts to consider one's values and preferences for end-of-life care, who to talk with about one's wishes, and suggestions on how to do so. It also prompts participants to rank priorities on a 5-point scale (e.g., What are your concerns about treatment? 1= I'm worried I won't get enough care, 5= I'm worried I'll get overly aggressive care). The CP website provides resources for running a community event using the 'CP Starter Kit', including a 23-page manual, Coaching the Conversation- A Guide to Facilitating Conversation Groups, with details on hosting a community-based program."
