Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Palliative Care Knowledge Scale (PaCKS)
The 13-item PaCKS measures palliative care knowledge among lay people, using true/false items covering topics like goals of palliative care. We know palliative care awareness is lacking; thus it is important to understand knowledge gaps; hence we will modify the response options to include "I don't know" in addition to true/false.
2 hours
Knowledge of Care Options (KOCO)
The 11-item KOCO measures gaps in knowledge of care options among cancer patients for curative, palliative, and hospice care using true-false options.
2 hours
Hospice and Palliative Care Questionnaire (HPCQ)
The 12-item HPCQ examines attitudes, use, and interest in receiving more information. There are 6 hospice and 6 palliative care questions, that have been used successfully with ethnically diverse populations.
2 hours
Identification and Transportation with Palliative Care Message
Individuals watching either the culture-centric palliative care video or the general video will be asked to ask 5 questions about emotions they felt, how they identified with the main characters in the video, and how focused they were while watching the video
2 hours
Attitudes and Intentions to Discuss Palliative Care
Those watching the culture-centric video or the general message video will be asked to respond to 5 questions about their intentions to discuss pallative care with their family.
