Abstract (300 words maximum)
The goal of this study is to add on to a developing knowledge base surrounding understandings and perceptions of advance care planning. To do so, a Qualtrics survey of 171 participants, was used to assess understanding of advanced care planning among the lay population, both conceptually and as a process with many features. Though a conceptual understanding of advanced care planning has been assessed in many studies, minimal research has been undertaken to locate and identify misunderstandings in depth. The expected findings of this study would reflect low to moderate knowledge of advanced care planning as a concept, consistent with previous literature, and a notable lack of accuracy in perceived time and financial costs.
