Dr. Gloria Duke, associate professor of nursing, Dr. Susan Yarborough, associate dean for graduate nursing programs, and Dr. Katherine Pang, assistant professor in criminal justice, collaborated to write the article, "The Patient Self Determination Act: 20 Years Revisited," which has been accepted this month by the Journal of Nursing Law regarding the Patient Self-Determination Act.

Drawing on the health and legal-ethical expertise of Duke, Yarborough and Pang, the complex legal, ethical and societal issues that have arisen in the almost two decades since passage of the PSDA are explored for their impact on health care providers, health care consumers, families, surrogate decision makers the economy and society as a whole.

"We are hopeful that the article will provoke action toward policy changes that will minimize the significant legal-ethical problems currently experienced with end-of-life care in the US, and promote meaningful quality of lives for these individuals and their families," Duke said.
