Current research

I am a doctor graduated from the University of Copenhagen in 2019. I have finished the first year of the specialist training to become a general practioner (introduction). I am currently working on my Ph.D-project in general medicine. You can read more about it below:

• Children and families' wellbeing: I am affiliated with 'Project Family Wellbeing', which is a cluster randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a web-intervention (Robustbarn.dk), and aiming to increase parental mentalization skills along with their own emotions.
  
  
• Structured child records: In 'Project Family Wellbeing', all the health care professionals have applied new, structured child records with increased psychosocial focus during the developmental assessments in general practice.
  
  
• Increased psychosocial focus in the developmental assessments: is further investigated in my Ph.D-project by the use of qualitative and quantitative methods.
  
  
• Parent-child interaction: is also incorporated in the stuctured child records. I am certified in coding of parental sensitivity and cooperation. 
  
  
• Parent-child attachment during pregnancy: and its association with infant crying and maternal depression is currently investigated in collaboration with psychologists at the Institute of Psychology, University of Copenhagen.

Furthermore, I have followed the work in parent-child interaction and attachment while staying abroad at the William James Centre for Research, ISPA University, Lisbon.
