This study was part of a larger mixed-methods project on the final year of life in NHs [31 ]. The research team included members with varied expertise of each the substantive and methodological areas (see Table 3 for details). The senior author, who has extensive expertise with the A-PM, oversaw all data collection and analysis and provided A-PM training to the team members. To prepare for data analysis, the team coded the same case and resolved discrepancies through discussion. Nearly all members of the research team had direct experience with NHs either through work, volunteer, training, or personal circumstances.
