About the Boundaries Longitudinal Study
The study's aim
This interdisciplinary study aims to advance understanding of what it entails for physicians and their daily work when governments propose legislating the mandatory reporting of undocumented patients.
The study is longitudinal, which means that we are following how physicians positions and experiences develop over time (ten years).
The study's approach
The study is based on qualitative interviews conducted in various contexts within the healthcare system and medical education, participant observations conducted in medical humanitarianism and in civil society contexts engaged in the issue of mandatory reporting, and media analyses of ongoing discourses and debates at a societal level.
The study's researchers, partner institutes, and funders
The study is an interdisciplinary project, including researchers from medicine, the social sciences, the humanities, and healthcare science. The study is a collaboration between the University of Gothenburg and the University of Edinburgh, and is funded by the Swedish Research Council and the University of Edinburgh.
