Summary

Historically, palliative care in the US has been rooted in the cultural values of a Caucasian, Christian middle class. Greater understanding of how culture influences the delivery of palliative care to minority patients is needed to achieve health equity.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the cultural values (Hindu customs and beliefs) and palliative care (specialized care for people living with a serious illness) preferences of the Hindu community. To the study team's knowledge, there has not been another study that has used a research approach to help better understand and measure the cultural values and palliative care preferences of Hindu participants with cancer and their caregivers.
