California’s End of Life Option Act went into effect in June of 2016. Amendments to the Act were passed in 2021, taking effect in January 2022. Meanwhile, several lawsuits have been filed in efforts to both expand and constrain California’s Act, six additional states legalized MAiD, and major healthcare associations have formulated policy positions related to aid in dying. This webinar will check in with the Act from a policy and research perspective – what has changed in the law; what we know about utilization, effectiveness, and impacts; what we don’t know due to limitations on the data released and barriers to research; and what we might like, or even need to know; and why controversy persists. A range of policy positions and statements will also be presented.
