I am a professor in public health epidemiology at the Department of Global Public Health, in the research group Epidemiology and Public Health Intervention Research Epidemiology (EPHIR) [1] for which I am research group leader. My main area of research is the epidemiology of public health problems. Over the years, I have implemented and lead projects within a variety of areas (and in the intersection between them), such as cardiovascular-, mental health-, social insurance-, alcohol-, pharmaco- and injury epidemiological studies. The vast majority of my research is based on quantitative data from registers and primary data from self-reported questionnaires or interviews. The studies employ a broad range of epidemiological study designs, such as cohort, case-control, cross-sectional and case-crossover study designs, and are analysed using modern statistical methods. My research projects are based on interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaborations, both within KI and internationally.
