How will adult social care need change into the future given population changes? These kinds of population changes could include: increasing levels of multimorbidity (including in younger adults), changes in household structures / access to a carer (e.g. single person households, older people without children), and housing supply (e.g. rented accommodation which cannot be adapted).
Background
We want to increase our understanding of adults’ need for social care support in Scotland as well as adults’ social care needs that are not currently met (unmet needs). This is a complex research area that has relevance across all areas of adult social care policy development. Robust definitions and measurement are critical to enable insights into variations and influencing factors.
