The ASCOT-CH4 is a mixed methods approach for care homes. It combines information from:
- Observations
- Interviews with residents
- Interviews with staff
- Interviews with family
There are two versions:
- ASCOT-CH4. This covers eight domains of social care-related quality of life (SCRQoL)
- ASCOT-CH4-HD. This covers the eight domains of SCRQoL and three additional health domains in an ASCOT format: pain, low mood and anxiety.
These tools are designed for use in research and require training.
If you would like to use ASCOT-CH4, you will need to complete this training. You will then receive a copy of the full materials. Please contact Nick Smith (N.J.Smith@kent.ac.uk) for further details.
You will also need to complete the appropriate license under Licensing.
