What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a serious illness coaching intervention (CONCORD) in improving quality of serious illness conversation (SIC), treatment decision-making, goal-concordant care delivery and quality of life in patients with advanced cancer considered for palliative interventions. CONCORD will be delivered by lay healthcare providers. We compare outcomes between participants receiving CONCORD vs usual care.
