The Impact of Health and Social Care Integration on Children and Young People’s Outcomes: What Can Be Determined from Scotland’s Administrative Data?
The findings highlight the complexity in attributing changes in outcomes to a specific intervention or reform, particularly in the presence of wider socio-economic factors. Understanding the influence of systems-level change may not be fully possible using routinely collected data alone, and any methods used to assess impact should be underpinned by an underlying theory of change.
