Statement Of Problem:
A discrepancy exists between where people would like to die and what actually occurs. More research about the factors influencing the location of death is required. Sources of Data and Research Design: Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine a sample taken from the fourth round of data collection performed by the National Health and Aging Trends Study conducted in 2014. Conclusions Reached: Census location, age, dementia, and use of hospice were found to have a statistically significant (P < .05) influence on the location of death (P = .000). The results suggest that the use of hospice increased the odds of dying at home (OR = 17.467, CI = 7.43-41.063) and in a nursing home (OR = 34.334, CI = 12.444-94.727) as compared to dying in the hospital. Further research is required on the topic of geographic location and place of death.
