About me

Nutritionist and affiliated PhD student in the IMPACT research group led by Prof Marie Löf.

Research description

My PhD-project is part of the MINISTOP 2.0 trial - an effectiveness implementation mHealth trial within primary child health care. The trial evaluates the effectiveness of a 6-month smartphone based intervention (MINISTOP 2.0 app) aimed at supporting parents in promoting health behaviors (diet, physical activity, screen time) in their children. The trial was conducted within the Swedish primary child health care setting between Nov 2019 and March 2022.
