ASCOT is a suite of tools developed by researchers at the University of Kent that measure:
- Social care-related quality of life (SCRQoL) of
– adults accessing social care
– family/friend carers, and
- Care work-related quality of life (CWRQoL) of
– people working in adult social care.
The measures have been used in adult social care research, service planning and individual care planning and assessment.
One of the measures is an indicator in the English Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF).
This literature review summarizes the use of ASCOT, internationally.
