  3. Aims • EUROFAMCARE will provide a European review of the situation of family carers of elderly people in relation to the existence, familiarity, availability, use and acceptability of supporting services. • EUROFAMCARE will push a change management process at various policy levels to promote social and health policies towards a partnership approach between family carers, professional providers and cared-for.

  4. Methodology • In depth studies in the 6 countries • 6.000 Interviews with family caregivers • Elderly in need of support aged over 65 • Extent of care/support 4 or more hours per week • Postal or phone interviews (follow-up study) after one year • Postal/phone or face to face interviews with service providers • Background Reports provided by both the 6 core countries and the 17 Pan-European countries

  5.
