Palliative care can improve symptom management and quality of life for people with serious illness and their families. This study examined CP\/CG reported palliative care utilization, understanding of palliative care, and the discussions about palliative care with members of the healthcare team.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was administered between January and February 2024 to adult CP\/CG of adults living with glioblastoma recruited through online caregiver support groups. The 38-item survey collected demographic information and caregiver-reported experiences related to palliative care utilization, discussions about palliative care, and supportive care needs.
