This $195,480 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund the ENGAGE-D study at New York University. The project aims to co-design a culturally sensitive care management checklist to guide hospice transitions for Black, Latino, and Asian persons living with advanced dementia and their caregivers receiving home healthcare. This pilot study will assess the feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and usability of the checklist within home healthcare care management, and examine hospice enrollment, time to enrollment, and caregiver satisfaction outcomes over 1- and 6-month follow-ups. The study is conceptually guided by health disparities and equity research frameworks to address inequities in hospice utilization among racially and ethnically diverse populations. The findings will inform the development of a future larger-scale clinical trial focused on improving end-of-life care for diverse individuals living with advanced dementia.
