Question

Support for black and minority ethnic groups:- How effective and cost effective are different approaches to supporting people from black and minority ethnic groups using intermediate care?

Any explanatory notes
(if applicable)

Why this is important:- Addressing the cultural, language and religious needs of black and minority ethnic groups can remove some of the barriers to accessing support services. There is no evidence on the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of intermediate care in supporting people from black or minority ethnic groups to access intermediate care and reablement.
Comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness studies are needed to evaluate 'what works' in terms of planning and delivering intermediate care for minority groups. This includes all 4 service models of intermediate care. Qualitative data are needed on the views and experiences of people from black and minority ethnic groups, their family, carers, practitioners and voluntary support groups to inform the development of a service that meets the needs of this population.
