SATTA: South Asian Young Adult Carers’ Transitions to Adulthood
Welcome to the website of the SATTA study: South Asian Young Adult Carers’ Transitions to Adulthood.
The project will start on the 1st of July 2024 and last 33 months, ending in March 2027.
The full title of the study is: Mera future ko kya? (What about my future?): A qualitative, multi-methods study and linked feasibility study of South Asian young adult carers’ transitions to adulthood.
Our study is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Research for Social Care Programme (NIHR grant number: NIHR205625).
Study Summary
Our study will find out how a carers centre assesses South Asian young adult carers and what support they give them to prepare for adulthood (transitions). We will interview young adult carers to find out about their experiences of transition assessments and what support they are getting. Working with young adult carers, we plan to develop a novel pathway to improve their assessment and support and test this pathway in other carers centres in England. Guidance will be produced for service providers to highlight the potential for the pathway to better address young adult carers’ cultural needs and improve life outcomes.
Working with young adult carers in our PPI Group (patient and public involvement), we will create a pathway and resources for service providers and the public. Video stories and other resources will also be co-produced in South Asian languages for young adult carers and their families.
