Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Signed informed consent
* Male or female
* Any race or ethnic origin
* 19 years of age (i.e. minors are excluded)
* Veteran indicates he/she has no Advance Directive
* Speaks and understands English
* Any category of rurality through urbanity of home residence or place of habitation
* Veteran is willing to extend the screening/baseline visit or return within 30 days for the advance care planning (ACP) session
Exclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosis of dementia (all causes) or other cognitive disorder documented in computerized patient record system problem list. (Note: this would include, for example, a mental disability that precludes informed consent capacity, e.g. a documented condition including an age level equivalency understanding of a child of age 6)
* Diagnosis of serious mental illness (i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I, major depression with psychotic features) documented in computerized patient record system problem list
* Actively considering plans of suicide or homicide per self report during screening interview direct question
* Psychotic symptoms that impair the subject's ability to give informed consent
* Current hospice care or palliative care recipient. (Note: The major predicted potential impact of this intervention is for Veterans who typically receive little or no ACP support. Veterans who receive palliative care/hospice care at Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center (VAMC) typically receive timely and full ACP support including Advance Directive completion support if desired. Veterans receiving palliative care and hospice care at Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center may tire easily and/or have pain/discomfort problems that could easily be exacerbated by research procedures. These research procedures themselves have the potential to add to end of life distress.)
