ABOUT
I am a social epidemiologist. I mostly work with various types of inequalities in different settings. I have experience in mental health research, disability studies, military context, gender and other social inequalities.
My PhD project was based on Ukrainian setting and has a title “Social capital and well-being in the transitional setting of Ukraine” that was defended at the Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine at Umeå University in Sweden.
Currently I am involved in a project about social inequality in adolescent mental health in Norway called LONGTRENDS.
