Long-term services in the home are predominately provided by family or friends, with a growing proportion of individuals receiving formal care, or paid care by a professional, or a combination of both. However, the relative benefits to the care recipient of who provides the care are largely unknown. Once the endogeneity of the care provider is accounted for, having both formal and family care leads to better self-rated health, mobility and lower depression compared to people receiving family care only.

The webinar will cover:

1. Introduction to the Global Observatory of Long-Term care and welcome (Adelina Comas-Herrera, Care Policy and Evaluation Centre, LSE, UK).
2. Introduction to the GOLTC Quasi-Experimental Methods Interest Group (Javiera Cartagena-Farias, Care Policy and Evaluation Centre at LSE, UK)
3. Home-Based Care Outcomes: Does the Care Provider Matter? (Professor Norma Coe, Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania, USA)
4. Discussion: Prithviraj Basu-Mallik (Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management )
