The investigators will be conducting a randomized trial in 3 reservation communities to test the efficacy of the narrative as culture-centric health promotion model for increasing American Indian tribal members' palliative care knowledge and intentions to discuss palliative care.
Palliative care is specialized patient-/family-centered care designed to reduce suffering and enhance quality of life for persons with serious illness. Culturally responsive palliative care can ease serious illness burden experienced by American Indians (AIs) and improve seriously ill AIs end-of-life decision-making. However, for seriously ill Northern Plains AIs, specifically those in South Dakota (SD), access to and use of culturally responsive palliative care is severely limited. To address this need, the investigators have formed a multidisciplinary, tribally-driven collaborative team consisting of Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board, active AI community advisory boards at the following reservations: Cheyenne River, Rosebud, and Pine Ridge, and South Dakota State University. The research team will conduct a campaign messaging efficacy test using the narrative as culture-centric health promotion model (NCHP) to create and test culture-centric narrative messaging that improves knowledge of palliative care and encourages participants to engage in formal and informal communication about palliative care. The NCHP model is an evidence-based innovative approach to enhance AI's knowledge and intentions to talk formally and informally about palliative care, because it provides guidelines for how to construct culture-centric narratives which identify the features of effective narratives and the mechanisms by which the narratives work to transform cognitive and behavioral outcomes. The investigators have developed a culture-centric narrative health video message and will be conducting a randomized trial to test the efficacy of the NCHP model for increasing AI tribal members' palliative care knowledge and intentions to discuss palliative care.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | 2 hours |

We are working with Tribal communities that are sovereign nations and we will share their data back with them at the end of the trial. We have to obtain special permission in order to share de-identified data more broadly.
