This will be a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of an individually
TTM-tailored intervention on the proportion of middle-age and older persons recruited from
primary care practices who complete four ACP behaviors (completion of a living will,

about views on quality versus quantity of life) over six months, compared with usual care.
