General practice, hypertension, medical communication, skin- and soft tissue infections, drug dependence, social inequality.

Based on different theoretical and methodological perspectives, as well as thematic focus and data production, the majority of my scientific production falls into these areas:

• Recruiting and retaining health professionals in rural areas
• Organizing and financing healthcare
• Health and inequality

A large part of my research production is based in primary healthcare and a lot of it concerns general practice. I have broad methodological competence and skills that I have used to shed light on many different research questions. As a statistician, I have great insight into quantitative data collection and analysis methods. Through my research I have also acquired skills in qualitative data production and analyses. I also take responsibility for the development of the research fields I am involved in and do peer reviews for various journals.

In 2023-2025 I was a member of the Editorial Board in the journal BMC Health Services Research.
