ICU Surrogate Medical Mistrust

In this study we will measure medical mistrust among surrogate decision makers of intensive care unit patients that are unable to make their own decisions because they are too sick. We will then monitor various outcomes using the electronic medical record to make associations between surrogate medical mistrust and patient goals of care. We suspect that more mistrustful surrogate decision makers will require more time to make end of life decisions in the intensive care unit.
