5 Understanding the needs of diverse communities in palliative care

Abstract

Results The search identified 6,611 unique citations. Further references may be identified by hand-searching references of included articles and contacting authors. Title and abstract screening has identified 278 potentially relevant papers so far. Conclusions Full text review of relevant citations is underway. The review will be completed by autumn 2019. The results will document how ED has been evaluated in this setting and pinpoint what elements may prove most effective and in what context. This will inform future research in the development and assessment of ED-based psychotherapeutic interventions in the palliative care setting.
