I have researched the organisation of measures for youths aged 18-23 who receive assistance from child welfare services and contributed to legislative changes in the new Norwegian Child Welfare Act (2021). The doctoral dissertation explores how youths aged 18-23 participate. I am further researching youths' participation among those with child welfare experience as they transition into adulthood.
