About me

I am a PhD student in the EpICCS (Epidemiology of Psychiatric Conditions, Substance use and Social Environment) research group.
I am also a licensed medical doctor and licensed physiotherapist.

Research

My PhD involves using quantitative, qualitative and mixed research methods to investigate the feasibility of alcohol use interventions in cardiology services. We are investigating the prevalence of hazardous drinking among patients with cardiovascular diseases, patient perspectives, and clinician views on the feasibility of implementing interventions. My main supervisor is Sara Wallhed Finn.
