Cultural adaptation/implementation COMFORT CC

The COMFORT Communication Curriculum (CC) will be culturally-adapted for 2 Native American reservation communities. The investigators will then implement the culturally-adapted COMFORT Communication Curriculum in 2 tribal communities by training interdisciplinary healthcare professionals to conduct culturally-respectful and relevant Advance Care Planning. The investigators will then conduct a cluster-assigned pilot, wait-list controlled trial of the culturally-adapted COMFORT Communication Curriculum in 2 tribal communities to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness by comparing 30 Native Americans completing Advance Care Planning with a trained healthcare professional and 30 Native Americans receiving usual care.
