The brief

MaPS published the results from a two-year quantitative pilot longitudinal study (PLS) of debt advice in October 2022.

The pilot has demonstrated solid evidence that doing a large-scale longitudinal study successfully is feasible and likely to produce valuable insight.

The reports, including pilot methodology and test of the key parameters, can be found at this link Understanding the long-term impact of debt advice.

Given the encouraging results, MaPS wants to undertake a two-phase quantitative longitudinal study to measure the impact of debt advice on client outcomes.

The design includes a randomised encouragement component by using a stratified random process to create a counterfactual group, where a treatment group is encouraged to seek debt advice, and a control group is not.

There are two main changes from the PLS.

1) The criteria used by MaPS to define people in need of debt advice have changed.

From previous surveys, we estimate that the old and new definitions of people in need of advice will provide a similar eligibility rate but that will be tested in the first phase of the study.

2) We have a new design and structure to be used for the randomise encouragement component.

Also, to be tested and improved in the development phase.

MaPS will facilitate a session to engage interested bidders on this workstream.

This will take place on 22nd February 2023 over MS Teams.
