Topic: The discrepancy between generals’ needs and health policies
Title: Health needs of households on welfare in the UK – An Anthropological Analysis
Research Questions:
1. Does the current health policy meet the health needs of households on welfare in the UK?
2. Are the needs of households on welfare different from those of the other citizens?
3. What is the challenge between the needs and the reality?
Significance of the research:
1. Since welfare households may have limited problem-solving skills, the administration must be intentional in supporting them
2. The livelihoods of welfare households depend on the minimum needs the government assumes, so the government must adequately understand their needs.
Methods:
1. Document Retrievals
Official documents by the UK (Central / Local) Government
Journal Articles and Books: Analysis of health policy in the UK
2. Participant Observation
Objects: People of households on welfare, leader(s) of them, GPs, civil servants
Place: Home visit / GP clinics / Local Government
