Helle Mölsted Alvesson
About me
I am an associate professor in global health and a ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ anthropologist. As the
departmental director of education at the Department of Global Public Health
I am promoting interdisciplinary and intercultural thinking in our master
programs and in my research.
Research
My research focuses on the interface between community- and central-level
practices in health and disease. I am specialized in designing and analyzing
qualitative data in multi-disciplinary teams in low, middle, and high-income
settings. I lead qualitative research studies often nested in complex
interventions currently on maternal and child health. My work elucidates how
people define, experience, and cope with health concerns, and how people
respond to public programs that promote improved human development.
My current research involves different participatory methods and co-design
processes to understand user perspectives in global public health challenges.
I am engaged in implementation science and the steps we need to take
to bridge the know-do gap.
I am active in two implementation projects on maternal and newborn health:
*ALERT - *Action Leveraging Evidence to reduce perinatal Mortality and
morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa - [1]
*QUALI-DEC - *Appropriate use of Caesarean section through QUALIty
DECision-making by women and providers [2]

Public Health (GUA). I give courses on qualitative methods in health on our
master programs and supervises doctoral and master students on qualitative
research.
Course leader in Qualitative Methods within the Masters program in Public
