Short presentation
My research interest is within the topic of migration and health. Specifically, I study factors that influence migrants' health and mitigate mental ill-health in the early post-migration phase. My research area include refugee migrants’ health in the Swedish setting, social determinants of health, qualitative and quantitative methodology, health equity and integration discourses. I am currently working as a researcher and teacher at the department of Public Health and Caring Sciences.
