Key Points Question Can a low-cost, easily scaled, end-of-life conversation game motivate underserved African American individuals to engage in advance care planning? Findings This national mixed-methods cohort study reaching 384 underserved African American individuals found that high rates of advance care planning behavior were associated with participation in game events at community venues. Meaning The end-of-life conversation game may be a useful tool for engaging underserved African American communities in advance care planning, a step toward reducing health disparities related to end-of-life care.
