Mått på bostadsbristen : Förslag på hur återkommande bedömningar ska utföras
- 2020

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Boverket fick i juni 2019 i uppdrag av regeringen att lämna förslag på hur återkommande bedömningar av bostadsbristen ska utföras samt att lämna förslag på enhetliga begrepp som ska användas vid kommunikation kring bostadsbristen. Avsikten är att de presenterade beräkningarna ska kunna användas i arbetet med bostadsförsörjningsfrågor och underlätta arbetet med att planera, utföra och följa upp insatser för att åtgärda bostadsbristen. Boverket har tagit fram en årlig beräkningsmodell där antalet hushåll som saknar en rimlig bostad beräknas på både nationell, regional och lokal nivå. Vad som är en rimlig bostad definieras enligt en uppsättning kriterier och normer. Kvantitativa mått visar hur många hushåll som har en boendesituation som inte uppfyller de olika kriterierna. Samråd har skett med Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner (SKR) samt med Socialstyrelsen under uppdragets gång. Båda anser att de givits utrymme att framföra sin mening och har förklarat sig nöjda med samrådet. Avstämningar har också gjorts med en rad andra aktörer. Denna rapport utgör Boverkets slutredovisning av uppdraget. Rapporten har tagits fram av en projektgrupp bestående av Tor Borg, Bengt J Eriksson, Oskar Gramstad, Ulla-Christel Götherström, Hans Jonsson, Bo Söderberg och Hang Zettervall, med den förstnämnda som projektledare.

A comparative study of text telephone and videophone relay services

In: Technology and Disability. - 1055-4181. ; 16:2, s. 101-109

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of the study was to compare text telephone relay service and videophone relay service. The target group was people borne deaf. The following aspects were investigated: (1) socioeconomic costs, (2) costs of different actors, (3) qualitative aspects of the services, (4) outcomes (intermediate effects and quality of life). The study was longitudinal and measurements were made at three occasions. Data collection was made by post-mailed questionnaires. Of the 41 respondents, 16 persons had access to the text telephone relay service only and 25 persons had access to text telephone relay service supplemented with videophone relay service. The ratings of the quality of the services and the outcomes were significantly higher for videophone relay service than for text telephone relay service (at a 95%-level). The incremental cost was approximately SEK 40 000, or EUR 4 510 (1 EUR = 8.87 SEK, as of 31 December 2000) higher per person and year for the group with access to both text telephone relay service and videophone relay service compared with the group with access to text telephone relay service only.

A socioeconomic model for evaluation of postal and telecommunication services for disabled persons

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Swedish National Post and Telecom Agency provides services in the postal and telecommunication area for disabled persons. The text telephone relay service, videophone relay service, free directory enquiries and extended rural postal service are aimed for various groups of persons with disabilities. The aim of this study was to develop a socioeconomic model for assessing such telecommunication services for disabled persons. The model development included the WHO Classification ICIDH-2 and ICF, literature review, reference panel opinions, expert opinions and pilot studies. The developed model encompasses quality of the services, costs and outcomes. The quality of the services refers to quality in structure and process. Costs for different actors are included, e.g. the user, family members, county councils, local authorities and the government. Outcomes of the services refer to intermediate outcomes (direct communicative outcomes) and generic outcomes (quality of life). The socioeconomic model is general and is applicable to different rehabilitation interventions.

Socioeconomic evaluation of postal and telecommunication services for disabled persons : applications to text telephone and videophone relay services

Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Introduction: The Swedish National Post and Telecom Agency provides services in the postal and telecommunication field aimed at several groups of disabled persons in Sweden. The services included in this study were the text telephone relay service and the videophone relay service. The services make distance communication possible for deaf and hearing-impaired persons. Text is transformed to speech and vice versa via the text telephone relay service, which has 8 000 users (year 2000). Via the videophone relay service, sign language is transformed into spoken language and vice versa. The videophone relay service has 300 users (year 2000). Approximately 8 000-10 000 persons are deaf since childhood in Sweden. It is estimated that approximately 5 000 persons have become deaf in adult age and about 400 000 are hearing-impaired and users of adequate assistive services. This implies a need for communication services aimed at this target group. Scarce resources in society necessitate that evaluations must be carried out to investigate the cost-effectiveness of interventions. There was a need for a model that facilitates socioeconomic evaluations of postal and telecommunication services for disabled persons.Aim: The aim of this thesis was to develop a socioeconomic model for assessing postal and telecommunication services for people with disabilities, and to apply the socioeconomic model to users of text telephone and videophone relay services.Methods: The model development included the WHO Classifications ICIDH-2 and ICF, a literature review, reference panel opinions, expert opinions and pilot studies. The socioeconomic model was applied to people born deaf using texi telephone and videophone relay services in a longitudinal study. The number of respondents was 41 out of 63 persons. Data collection was made through posted questionnaires.Results: The model encompasses background variables, quality of the service(s), costs and outcomes. The quality of the service refers to the quality in structure and process. Costs for different actors are included, e.g. the user, family members, county councils, local authorities and the government. Outcomes of the service are divided into intermediate outcomes (direct communicative outcomes) and generic outcomes (quality of life). The socioeconomic model is general and applicable with different rehabilitation interventions. The application showed that the ratings of the quality of the services and the intermediate outcomes were significantly higher for the videophone relay service than for the text telephone relay service (p<0.05). The incremental cost was approximately SEK 40 000 (EUR 4 510) higher per person and year for the group with access to both the text telephone relay service and the videophone relay service than for the group with access to the text telephone relay service only (year 2000). In the financial analysis, the distribution of costs showed that the user, the Swedish National Post and Telecom Agency and The National Swedish Board of Health bear a considerable part of the costs. Family members and county councils bear a smaller amount of the costs. There were no differences in ratings of quality of life between the groups of text telephone relay service users and videophone relay service users. The target group expressed high ratings of quality of life.Conclusions: The model is applicable to various postal and telecommunication services in varying environments. The incremental cost for the videophone relay service compared to the text telephone relay service was almost SEK 40 000 higher. The quality of the service and intermediate outcomes showed higher ratings for the videophone relay service. Quality of life and problem-solving ability showed no difference between users of text telephone and videophone relay services.
