Eksperimentel: Usual Care + A-EPAC
Participants will be assigned to a lay health worker who will conduct education sessions over 30-45 minutes by phone initially followed by 15 minute conversations twice monthly for 6 months to discuss goals of care and how to engage in these discussions with their clinical teams.
Participants will also receive usual cancer care for a total of 12 months or until death, whichever is first.

Patient-reported Anxiety and Depression
Tidsramme: 3 months
|
Change in mean score using the validated PROMIS Short Form v1.0 of Anxiety 4a and Depression 4a between time of enrollment and 3 months post-enrollment.
Each scale consists of 4 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale.
Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.
That is - higher score represents a worse outcome.

Family reported quality of end-of-life care
Tidsramme: 12 months
|
For participants who die during the study period, the VA Veterans Experience Center will administer the Bereaved Family Survey which solicits bereaved family evaluations of care in the last 30 days of life.
One component of this survey is the National Quality Forum-endorsed measure called the BFS Performance Measure (BFS-PM), a single item evaluation of the overall quality of EOL care.
This measure is measured a 5-point Likert scale, which investigators will dichotomize as "excellent" vs all other categories.
This measure will be reported out descriptively.
