Recruitment was from February 15, 2018, to January 31, 2022, and patient-surrogate dyads were followed up for 21 months (until January 17, 2023) or until patient death.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Intervention<\/jats:title>Each clinic selected 1 or 2 health care workers (eg, nurse practitioner, registered nurse, or social worker) to conduct 45- to 60-minute ACP discussions with dyads in the clinic or remotely. After March 13, 2020 (commencement of the COVID-19 emergency declaration), all discussions were conducted remotely. An ACP summary was placed in patients\u2019 medical records.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>The primary, 2-week preparedness outcomes were dyad congruence on EOL goals of care, patient decisional conflict, surrogate decision-making confidence, and a composite of dyad congruence and surrogate decision-making confidence. Secondary bereavement outcomes were anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic distress 3 months after patient death. To adjust for COVID-19 pandemic effects on bereavement outcomes, a variable to indicate the timing of baseline and 3-month assessment relative to the COVID-19 emergency declaration was created.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Of the 426 dyads enrolled, 231 were in the intervention clinics, and 195 were in the control clinics. Among all dyads, the mean (SD) patient age was 61.9 (12.7) years, and the mean (SD) surrogate age was 53.7 (15.4) years. At 2 weeks, after adjusting for baseline values, dyad congruence (odds ratio [OR], 1.61; 95% CI, 1.12-2.31; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001), decisional conflict scores (\u03b2,\u2009\u22120.10; 95% CI, \u22120.13 to \u22120.07; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), and the composite (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.06-2.34; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.03) were higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Surrogate decision-making confidence was similar between groups (\u03b2,\u20090.06; 95% CI, \u22120.01 to 0.13; P<\/jats:italic> = .12). Among 77 bereaved surrogates, after adjusting for baseline values and assessment timing, intervention group anxiety was lower than control group anxiety (\u03b2, \u22121.55; 95% CI, \u22123.08 to \u22120.01; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.05); however, depression (\u03b2, \u22120.18; 95% CI, \u22122.09 to 1.73; P<\/jats:italic> = .84) and posttraumatic distress (\u03b2, \u22120.96; 95% CI, \u22127.39 to 5.46; P<\/jats:italic> = .75) were similar.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>In this randomized clinical trial, the ACP intervention implemented by health care workers at dialysis centers improved preparation for EOL decision-making but showed mixed effectiveness on bereavement outcomes. The ACP intervention implemented in dialysis centers may be an effective strategy to the dyad preparation for end-of-life care as opposed to the current focus on advance directives.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Trial Registration<\/jats:title>ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
