Cited in Scopus: 8There remains a gap in meeting the palliative and end-of-life (EOL) care needs, including advance care planning (ACP) needs of ethnic minority, under-resourced, veterans, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Americans, as well as persons with disabilities and residing in geographically isolated regions. Intersecting socially constructed characteristics influence the lived experience of marginalized communities, including their health-care experiences. These persistent gaps pose a serious barrier to achieving high-quality care, including palliative and EOL care, across the life span of members of these growing populations.
