The purpose of this study was to examine racial differences in the creation of a living will among older adults, guided by the Andersen model of healthcare utilization. Data from the 2018 National Health and Aging Trends Study were used to examine differences between Black and Hispanic older adults compared to Whites. Weighted bivariate analysis and a weighted logistic regression model were used to determine the presence of a living will. After accounting for predisposing, enabling and need factors, Black and Hispanic older adults were significantly less likely to have a living compared to White older adults. Results indicate the need to examine cultural, historical, and systemic factors that could affect engagement in advance care planning among Black and Hispanic older adults
