This study is a stratified permuted-block RCT to determine the effects of 2 spiritual care interventions on advanced cancer patients' spiritual wellness (i.e., spiritual well-being and satisfaction of spiritual care needs) and specific forms of healthcare service utilization (i.e., hospice enrollment and ICU admissions) in a sample of advanced cancer patients (N=288) recruited from outpatient settings. Patients will be assigned to "Spiritual Care Intervention #1" (active 1), "Spiritual Care Intervention #2" (active 2), or "Spiritual Care Intervention #3" (control) arm of the trial (overall ratio 1:1:1) using permuted-block randomization within strata defined by geographic location (NYC, Houston Metro Area) and recruitment site (NYC: BMH; Houston Metro Area: UTMB, MDACC). Spiritual care intervention details are being withheld until the trial concludes to protect the scientific integrity of the study. Only 1 of the 2 active interventions will be administered at each site at a given time to avoid within-site cross-contamination between the 2 active intervention arms of the trial.
