Research

My research is in organizing public health with a focus on negotiations of access to integrated cross-sectoral interventions for people with severe mental illness. I study this through participant observations and interviews with both citizens and professionals. I aim to report a broader understanding of the negotiations of access to integrated care, which can be used to implement flexible models in different contexts.

Profile

As a PhD student at the Department of Public Health, I am interested in organizing public health. In my PhD, I examine how citizens with severe mental illness continuously negotiate their access to an integrated interdisciplinary intervention. I am a trained physiotherapist and later pursued a Master's degree in Health Sciences with a specialization in rehabilitation. Before my PhD, I worked as a physiotherapist and after my master’s  as a research assistant at the department.

I collaborate with colleagues from Norway and the Netherlands on comparative studies of cross-sectoral integrated interventions.
