Finding suitable long-term care arrangements for older migrants in Europe, including Norway, has been a major concern for healthcare policymakers in the last decade.

Although caring for family members may be personally satisfying, it can also be a source of distress. This study explores…
Intergenerational ambivalence among families with a migrant background caring for older relatives

Our findings highlight the urgent need to establish modes of collaboration with formal care systems to ensure the support and well-being of bo…
Reassessing social trust: Gossip, self-policing, and Covid-19 risk communication in Norway
This article analyses patterns of compliance with COVID-19 regulations in Southwest Norway.
