Long Summary

This study investigated the overlapping or complementary aspects of carer-related economic evaluation measures including the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit for Carers (ASCOT-Carer), Carer Experience Scale (CES), and Care-Related Quality of Life (CarerQoL). The results revealed that each economic measure addresses different aspects of carer-related quality of life and experiences. As such, these economic evaluation measures should not be used interchangeably with one another.
