Coproducing Covid‐19 Health Information Resources
BACKGROUND: Minoritised ethnic communities in the UK experience disproportionate levels of morbidity and mortality compared to their Caucasian counterparts. This disparity was magnified during the COVID-19 crisis, particularly amongst older adults. An effective way to target such inequalities is through health communication, but language barriers and cultural differences can make this challenging. This study was conducted during the midst of the …
Care Workers and Managers’ Experiences of Implementing Infection Control Guidance in an Epidemic Context

Care workers had to rapidly adapt to new infection control measures to protect themselves, their colleagues, and the people receiving care. Infection control in residential and domiciliary care is always complex, but COVID-19 infection control measures impacted exceptionally on care w…
Developing a framework for reflection on policy-relevant care research using a study of older adults’ food and drink care-related needs
In this paper, we explore the challenges associated with public, professional and policy engagement.

Reflections on the Use of Synchronous Online Focus Groups in Social Care Research
Focus groups are an extensively employed research method for the collection of qualitative data. Recent developments in teleconferencing platforms have produced a substantial increase in online research, including online focus groups. The current study is the first to discuss methodological reflections on the conduct of online focus groups in adult social care research. Previously reported research on the use of online focus groups in healthcare …
Framing QA as Building and Ranking Intersentence Answer Justifications
We propose a question answering (QA) approach for standardized science exams that both identifies correct answers and produces compelling human-readable justifications for why those answers are correct. Our method first identifies the actual information needed in a question using psycholinguistic concreteness norms, then uses this information need to construct answer justifications by aggregating multiple sentences from different knowledge bases …
