Individualized funding interventions to improve health and social care outcomes for people with a disability: A mixed-methods systematic review
Conflict of interest statement
This SR was conducted as part of Padraic Fleming''s (lead author) Ph.D. (Principal Supervisor SMcG). A potential conflict of interest may exist, in that both the lead author (PF) and the individualized funding initiatives that are the subject of his research, are funded by the same agency (i.e., Genio). However, it is important to note that PF is completing his Ph.D as part of a prestigious structured doctoral program in the field of population health/health services research called SPHeRE funded by the Health Research Board in Ireland (www.sphereprogramme.ie). All SPHeRE scholars receive intensive instruction in various methodologies during the course of their first year whilst they are also encouraged to pursue high standards, rigor and objectivity in everything that they do. Furthermore, they are supervised, not only by top health services researchers in the country, but are also supported and guided by an academic panel of senior health services/population health researchers throughout the course of their studies. Thus, the lead author strived to be as objective and independent as possible and any conflict of interest was disclosed in the reporting of the study. All necessary steps were also taken to avoid any bias that arose in this respect, such as MH independently reviewing the quality of PF and SMcG''s paper that was included in the review. FK was previously the Director of Research and Evidence in Genio. MF, TS, SOD and MH have no conflict of interest.
