I am a PhD student in medical science in the research group CIRCLE at the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health at Uppsala University, researching equity, inclusion and diversity in health research. I am a member of U-CARE, a research program aiming to increase psychological wellbeing among patients and close ones living with a somatic disease.

Research
My research focuses on investigating how representative people with substance-use disorders are in health research. Using register data, I examine the outcomes – including treatment trajectories and health outcomes – resulting from the inclusion and exclusion criteria applied in clinical trials for people with substance-use disorders.
My research is designed to be conducted in consultation with those it affects, and I seek ongoing collaboration with people with substance-use disorders, clinicians and clinical trial recruiters.
My studies incorporate quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as a systematic literature review.
