Young Carers: Prevention, Intervention, Services and Outcomes—What Works? -Submit your article
Submit your new article to a Special Issue of the journal ‘Healthcare’ which is being edited by Professor Saul Becker of Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, on ‘Young Carers: Prevention, Intervention, Services and Outcomes—What Works?’
In this Special Issue, submissions are invited that examine, report on, discuss or assess either specific or wider approaches, services and interventions that are being used with young carers/young adult carers and their families. We focus on bringing together submissions that are concerned with the question of ‘what works’? Articles where researchers/academics have worked with policy makers, practitioners, service providers, and/or young carers/young adult carers in the design, delivery or evaluation of services and interventions are especially welcome. By drawing together this research in one place we intend for this Special Issue to inform the future development of policy, practice and services for young carers/young adult carers internationally.
What services, approaches or interventions are focused on prevention—and what are they trying to prevent? What services, approaches or interventions are aimed at supporting young carers as children and/or carers? What are the aims of these services and interventions and what is the theory of change that they are built upon? Who has (co-)designed these services and interventions and for what purpose? What is the evidence that they deliver beneficial outcomes for young carers/young adult carers (and their families)? These are just some of the questions that we aim to address in this Special Issue.
