Of them, 59.6% preferred end-of-life care at home, and 54.2% preferred home death. Latent Class Analysis identified five distinct subgroups: comprehensive understanding, some understanding, limited understanding, misunderstanding, and no opinion. Comprehensive understanding, such as believing that palliative care supports families and alleviates suffering, was associated with preferences for home or hospice care. Misunderstanding, such as believing that palliative care hastens death, was associated with preferences for hospital or nursing home. The comprehensive understanding group included more women (57.6%), older (mean [SD] age: 57 [18] years), and university-educated individuals (48.2%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although the most preferred place for both care and death were home, preferences varied across subgroups defined by differing levels of understanding of palliative care and sociodemographic characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/26323524261474030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T16:47:50Z","timestamp":1785343670000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Public understanding of palliative care and preferences for place of end-of-life care and death: A national population-based latent class analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3660-6306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecilia","family":"Larsdotter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sophiahemmet University"},{"name":"University of Gothenburg"},{"name":"University of Gothenburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stina","family":"Nyblom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sahlgrenska University Hospital"},{"name":"University of Gothenburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9447-663X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrik","family":"Imberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gothenburg"},{"name":"Statistiska Konsultgruppen Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8042-190X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Sawatzky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gothenburg"},{"name":"Trinity Western University"},{"name":"Providence Health Care Research Institute"},{"name":"University of Alberta"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2429-8705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joakim","family":"\u00d6hl\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gothenburg"},{"name":"University of Gothenburg"},{"name":"Sahlgrenska University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","first-page":"e2546","article-title":"What is a good death?
