Research

I am conducting research on the epidemiology of ADHD, with particular focus on maternal and child health. Using large-scale Danish register data, I have conducted pharmacoepidemiologic studies on the use of ADHD medication. My research goal right now is to clarify the risks and benefits of ADHD medication during pregnancy. My research contributes to clinicians and policymakers being able to provide more precise, evidence-based care that improves health outcomes for mothers and children.
