Abstract

PURPOSE: Social services in Sweden are increasingly offering support to neurodivergent young adults in their daily living. Effective methods are needed to encourage young service users to actively engage in their support. This study aimed to (I) describe the process of co-producing a tool to facilitate service user engagement, and (II) explore the tool's feasibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: = 8) were interviewed. Quantitative and qualitative findings were integrated using a narrative-weaving approach. RESULTS: = 10), both service users and support workers found the tool relevant and helpful. CONCLUSIONS: Co-production is a promising approach for enhancing service user engagement in this service setting. In further evaluation of the tool, organizational-level implementation barriers must be addressed.
