Main content
This cross-national project, funded by a Norwegian national research agency, was carried out in the United Kingdom and Norway by a lone researcher as part of a larger project. The aim of the project was to understand the impact of different welfare regime contexts on the implementation of cash-for-care schemes, which lay stress on the independence of disabled people by giving them more control and choice over the services allocated by local authorities.
What is SAGE Research Methods?
SAGE Research Methods is a research methods tool created to help researchers, faculty and students with their research projects. The database links over 175,000 pages of SAGE’s renowned book, journal and reference content with truly advanced search and discovery tools. Researchers can explore methods concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings. Since SAGE Research Methods focuses on methodology rather than disciplines, it can be used across the social sciences, health sciences, and more.
