Consumer experiences and preferences for aged care through citizen science

This project aims to generate large scale data on consumer experiences and preferences for care delivered in residential aged care using an innovative approach. The new knowledge generated by this project will be rich data on consumer experiences and preferences for infection management in residential aged care. The expected outcomes will include a replicable model for elucidating consumer experiences and preferences for key care types and will enable the development of resources to support a high-quality care experience aligned with consumer preferences. Significant benefits to one of Australia's most vulnerable populations are expected, and reductions in economic losses from antimicrobial resistance due to antibiotic overuse may follow.
