Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive account of racial and ethnic differences in retrospective end-of-life outcomes. Studies were searched from the following databases: Abstracts in Social Gerontology, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMED, and SocIndex. Studies were included if they were published in English, included people from groups who have been minoritized, included adults aged 18 and older, used retrospective data, and examined end-of-life outcomes. Results from most of the 29 included studies showed that people from groups who have been minoritized had more aggressive/intensive care, had less hospice care, were more likely to die in a hospital, less likely to engage in advance care planning, less likely to have good quality of care, and experienced more financial burden at the end of life. Implications for practice (timely referrals), policy (health insurance access), and research (intervention studies) are provided.
