My research interests are driven by the desire to improve public health in general and particularly for vulnerable population groups. My research is especially driven by my interest in the explanation of social inequalities in health, including how socioeconomic factors and other risk factors influence health behaviour and mental health. My research is additional motivated by the fact that social inequalities in health have increased in recent decades, and that greater knowledge about the underlying mechanisms of social inequalities in health is needed in the development of effective policies and intervention programs in the process of reducing social inequalities in health.
