This journal focuses on research concerning the Nordic welfare state, with a particular emphasis on integration policies for refugees and migrants, and the experiences of vulnerable groups within social and healthcare services. It examines challenges and practices related to interprofessional collaboration, patient and user involvement, and the role of street-level bureaucrats in implementing welfare policies. The journal also addresses issues of health inequality, the transition of young people from care to adulthood, and the impact of technology and policy shifts on welfare services.
