Exploring the diversity and spread of adult social care innovations in England: An exercise in mapping innovations and a research agenda
This paper examines the diversity and spread of adult social care (ASC) innovations in England. Drawing on public sector and social innovation traditions to analyse a database of 128 innovations, we present empirical evidence about the heterogeneous nature of ASC innovation, highlighting the importance of interorganizational relationships. We interrogate features and patterns of spread, arguing they are shaped by a sustained and strong New Public…
The challenge of scaling-up social work innovations: A case study of Shared Lives schemes in England
Innovation is routinely presented as a response to pressure on public services. This article considers the development of Shared Lives (SL) schemes in English adult social care (ASC), a model of care that has been consistently promoted as innovative. SL seeks to replicate ‘ordinary family life’ for adults who need support. Evidence of positive outcomes for people supported, and of cost-effectiveness compared to other models, has attracted the att…
Quality of life outcomes for informal carers of long-term care service users in Austria, England and Finland
Small differences between the risk-adjusted SCRQoL scores between Austria, England and Finland are consistent with the observation that the countries provide different types of support for informal carers. Our results help local and national decision-makers in these countries to benchmark their informal care support systems
Japanese preference weights of the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit for Carers (Ascot-Carer)
We established Japanese preference weights for ASCOT-Carer states, the first weights of an Asian country. The estimated utilities can contribute to the measurement of caregivers' social care-related QoL and perform of cost-effectiveness analyses
Managing the career effects of discrimination and motherhood: The role of collegial support for a caregiving policy at a research-intensive U.S. university
Implementing and encouraging use of policies aimed at creating an equitable higher education workplace for women academics can be challenging. Often, policy usage may be avoided due to stigma or fear of being seen as not committed to one’s workplace, especially for expectant mothers. In the present study, we examined how collegial support for using a tenure clock extension policy affects pre-tenure women’s career outcomes. Among pre-tenure women …
Towards a Program Theory for Family-Focused Practice in Adult Mental Health Care Settings: An International Interview Study With Program Leaders
Objectives: In several high-income countries, family-focused practice programs have been introduced in adult mental health care settings to identify and support children whose parents live with mental health problems. Whilst their common goal is to reduce the impact of parental mental illness on children, the mechanisms by which they improve outcomes in different systems and settings are less well known. This kind of knowledge can importantly con…
What’s important when caring for a loved one? Population-based preference weights for the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit for informal carers (Ascot-Carer) for Austria
The paper provides preference weights for the German version of ASCOT-Carer to be used in Austrian populations. Furthermore, the results give insight into which LTC-QoL-outcomes are seen as particularly (un)desirable, and may therefore help to better tailor services directed at informal carers and the persons they care for
Social care‐related outcomes in Finland. Construct validity and structural characteristics of the Finnish Ascot measure with older home care users
The Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit four response-level interview schedule (ASCOT INT4) for service users was translated into Finnish. The aim of this paper was to investigate the construct validity and structural characteristics of the Finnish ASCOT. We used data from a face-to-face interview survey of older people receiving publicly funded home care services, which was conducted in 2016-2017 (n = 493), excluding missing values and proxy resp…
Investigating factors influencing quality-of-life effects of home care services in Austria, England and Finland: A comparative analysis
European countries have developed a range of long-term care (LTC) policy responses to support the increasing share of older people. However, little is known about the effectiveness of LTC services and benefits, particularly their impact on older peoples’ quality of life (QoL). This paper investigates the role of personal, care service and environmental characteristics on the effects of home care services on QoL across England, Finland and Austria…
Translation, cultural adaptation and construct validity of the German version of the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit for informal Carers (German Ascot-Carer)
Purpose The Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit for Carers (ASCOT-Carer), developed in England, measures the effects of long-term care (LTC) services and carer support on informal carers’ quality of life (QoL). Translations of the ASCOT-Carer into other languages are useful for national and cross-national studies. The aim of this paper was to report on the translation and cultural adaptation of the original English ASCOT-Carer into German, to asse…
Population-based preference weights for the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (Ascot) for service users for Austria: Findings from a best-worst experiment
The paper provides Austrian preference weights for the German version of ASCOT for service users. The weights also provide insight into how Austrians value different LTC-QoL states. Future research may investigate how values for different LTC-QoL states differ between socioeconomic groups
Comparing internet and face-to-face surveys as methods for eliciting preferences for social care-related quality of life: Evidence from England using the Ascot service user measure
This comparison demonstrates that face-to-face and internet surveys may lead to fairly similar preferences for social care-related quality of life when differences in sample characteristics are controlled for. With or without a constant sampling frame, studies should carefully design the BWS exercise and provide similar levels of clarification to participants in each survey to minimise the amount of error variance in the choice process
Development of Japanese utility weights for the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (Ascot) SCT4
We successfully obtained Japanese utility weights for ASCOT SCT4. This will contribute to the measurement and understanding of social care outcomes
An evidence-based faculty recruitment workshop influences departmental hiring practice perceptions among university faculty
Purpose Many university programs seek to promote faculty diversity by reducing biases in hiring processes. The purpose of this paper is to conduct two studies to test the individual- and department-level impact of a faculty recruitment workshop (FRW) on faculty attitudes toward evidence-based, equitable hiring practices. Design/methodology/approach Study 1 included 1,188 faculty who had or had not attended an FRW. Respondents were surveyed about …
What is the relationship between the quality of care experience and quality of life outcomes? Some evidence from long-term home care in England
Investigating the relative value of health and social care related quality of life using a discrete choice experiment
Are reasons for care‐giving related to carers’ care‐related quality of life and strain? Evidence from a survey of carers in England
In England, choice and control is promoted for service users in relation to social care services. Increased choice and control has also been promoted for unpaid carers, although this is still relatively underdeveloped. There is limited recognition of carers' choice in terms of the decision of whether to provide care. Alongside the promotion of choice and control, there has also been a focus on quality of life as an outcome of social care for care…
A study of dyadic interdependence of control, social participation and occupation of adults who use long-term care services and their carers
These findings highlight the importance of considering the wider impact beyond the individual of long-term care on quality of life in the evaluation of long-term care policy and practice

The factors associated with care-related quality of life of adults with intellectual disabilities in England: Implications for policy and practice
Over the last three decades, quality of life (QoL) has been advocated as an indicator of social care outcomes for adults with intellectual disabilities. In England, the Adult Social Care Survey (ASCS) is conducted annually by local authorities to contribute to the evidence base of the care-related QoL of people receiving publicly funded adult social care. This study explores relationships between QoL and non-care-related factors to identify relat…
Factor structure and construct validity of the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit for Carers (Ascot-Carer)
The results provide evidence to support the construct validity, factor structure, internal reliability and feasibility of the ASCOT-Carer INT4 as an instrument for measuring social care-related quality of life of unpaid carers who care for adults with a variety of long-term conditions, disability or problems related to old age
What can local authorities do to improve the social care-related quality of life of older adults living at home? Evidence from the Adult Social Care Survey
Carers' quality of life and experiences of adult social care support in England
Informal carers make a vital contribution to the well-being of the people they care for or look after. Against the policy background in England, the purpose of this study was to explore the views of carers who are in contact with adult social care support services. A qualitative study with 31 carers, who were recruited via local authorities and carers' organisations, was conducted between April and July 2012 to collect data on carers' experiences…
Outcomes of social care for adults: Developing a preference-weighted measure.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a measure of social care outcome, an equivalent to the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) in health, which could be used in a range of circumstances. DESIGN: The project drew on previous and parallel work developing the Adult Social Care Outcome Toolkit and the national Adult Social Care Survey. We developed and tested an instrument designed to reflect service users' social care-related quality of li…
Mapping the Future of Family Care: Receipt of Informal Care by Older People with Disabilities in England to 2032
Many long-term care systems in economically developed countries are reliant on informal care. However, in the context of population ageing, there are concerns about the future supply of informal care. This article reports on projections of informal care receipt by older people with disabilities from spouses and (adult) children to 2032 in England. The projections show that the proportions of older people with disabilities who have a child will fa…
The Climate for Women in Academic Science: The Good, the Bad, and the Changeable
Deficits theory posits that women scientists have not yet achieved parity with men scientists because of structural aspects of the scientific environment that provide them with fewer opportunities and more obstacles than men. The current study of 208 faculty women scientists tested this theory by examining the effect of personal negative experiences and perceptions of the workplace climate on job satisfaction, felt influence, and productivity. Hi…
Voice Matters: Buffering the Impact of a Negative Climate for Women in Science
The current study examined whether women scientists' perceptions of voice moderate the impact of poor workplace climates on job satisfaction and whether effective leadership and mentoring promote women's voice. Survey data were collected from 135 faculty women in the natural sciences. The results from multiple regression analyses indicated that negative (e.g., sexist, hostile) departmental climates were related to lower job satisfaction. However,…

Measuring Quality in Social Care Services: Theory and Practice
Measuring and assessing service quality in the social care sector presents distinct challenges. The ‘experience’ good properties of social care, for instance, and the large influence played by subjective judgements about the quality of personal relationships between carer and user and of process‐related service characteristics make it difficult to develop indicators of service quality, including those of service impact on final outcomes. Using so…

Winners and Losers: Assessing the Distributional Effects of Long-Term Care Funding Regimes
Using two linked simulation models, we examine the public expenditure costs and distributional effects of potential reforms to long-term care funding in the UK. Changes to the means tests for user contributions to care costs are compared with options for the abolition of these means tests (‘free’ personal care). The latter generally cost more than the former and benefit higher income groups more than those on lower incomes (measuring income in re…

Measuring and monitoring outputs in social care: The problem of measuring quality
The focus of this article is the measurement of quality within the context of a new approach to measuring government-funded social care services. The approach builds on principles set out in a UK review led by Professor Sir Tony Atkinson. At its heart are the concepts of capacity for benefit, describing the potential benefit to users from services, and quality, reflecting the extent to which the benefit is realized. We report on a study designed …
