The problem
Intervention: Targeted safety net transfers to families of children with severe illness, studied using a policy reform that changed how generous the transfers were
Who it was tested with: Danish families of all children diagnosed with cancer, compared with matched unaffected families, using national register data.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Using a policy reform that introduced variation in the generosity of targeted safety net transfers to affected families" shows a comparison across families facing different transfer levels, which fits a quasi-experimental design.
Only the abstract is available, so the size of the transfer effects is not given. The results are specific to Denmark, and the reform-based comparison depends on assumptions not described here.
