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.
ASCOT measures have been used in adult social care research, service planning and individual care planning and assessment. One of the measures (ASCOT-SCT4) is an indicator in the English Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF).
This literature review summarizes the use of ASCOT, internationally.
