    • Abstract:
      This study explored how many, and in what form, U.S. public institutions of higher education (IHE; n=1,642) provide information regarding advance care planning (ACP), advance care directives (ACDs), and end-of-life (EOL) care on their official websites. Chi-square analysis was used to examine relationships between the availability of information and three institutional characteristics (size, type, and medical degree offering). Results show that most public IHE (92.1%, n=1,513) do not provide any information regarding ACDs or ACP on their websites. Overall, large, four-year institutions that offer medical degrees were significantly more likely to provide ACP and ACD information on their official websites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
