I am professor of epidemiology at Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care where I hold two 50% positions:

As head of the research group for greenness, air pollution and health, my research focus is on epidemiology. A number of health outcomes are investigated in association with environmental exposures and lifestyle factors through large international population surveys. I am PI for the longitudinal Respiratory Health in Northern Europe (RHINE) study, and am the head of European Respiratory Society Assembly 6 Epidemiology and Environment, and associate editor in European Respiratory Review (impact factor 10.4).

I publish approximately 12 scientific papers each year, and have extensive supervisory activities with regard to both PhD fellows and master students. 

As head of TVEPS I have a particular research focus on interprofessional collaboration. I research interprofessional collaboration both in a pedagogical perspective investigating learning outcomes for students and health personnel, and in a public health perspective investigating the potential value of interprofessional collaboration in the health and social care services for patients and society. 

 

As head of the Centre for Interprofessional Workplace Learning (TVEPS), teaching is a large and integrated part of my worklife. My teaching is embedded in a personal desire to share knowledge to our future health and social care workers: to teach students how to collaborate across professions and to increase their interprofessional competencies. The underlying aims are to teach students the value of other health professions, to help them understand the enormous potential of collaboration, and to enable them to view the whole patient in an interprofessional perspective rather than only the parts of the patient most adapted to their professional perspectives.

At TVEPS, final-year students from 17 different education programs within the health and social care sciences engage in interprofessional collaboration training. The students in TVEPS are placed in interprofessional groups with 4-5 students from different education programs, and each group focuses on solving a interprofessional task in a municipal work place related to the primary health sector or schools/kindergartens. TVEPS practice entails 20 hours work for the students, and almost a thousand students engage in this kind of interprofessional collaboration training each year with us in TVEPS. We are in contact with more than hundred different workplaces in this context, mainly in the municipalities Bergen and Øygarden.

Below is an overview of my scientific publications (scientific papers and textbook chapters). In addition I have had numerous lectures and poster presentations in national and international conferences during the last decades, as well as popular scientific communication through interviews, podcasts and news articles. 

In addition to being head of TVEPS and head of the research group for greenness, air pollution and health I am principal investigator for the following research projects: 

• The use of ICCAS as an evaluation tool: a research project where different courses within interprofessional education in Norway collect data on students' learning outcomes through the internationally acknowledged questionnaire tool Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS). In addition to data from TVEPS, this research project also includes data from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Arctic University of Norway, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Oslo, University of Stavanger, Stavanger University Hospital, and Oslo Metropolitan University.
• Lifespan and inter-generational respiratory effects of exposures to greenness and air pollution (Life-GAP): a research project in the period 2020-2025 funded with 12 mill NOK by the Research Council of Norway (BEDREHELSE program). The project is designed to investigate how proximity to air pollution and green areas may affect respiratory health over time and across generations, and includes two PhD researchers and a postdoctoral researcher in addition to senior researchers and master students.
• Respiratory Health in Northern Europe (RHINE) study: This is a longitudinal respiratory research project with > 20 000 participants at startup in 1990, and with follow-up stages in 2000, 2010 and 2020. The participants come from 7 study sites: Bergen (Norway); Gothenburg, Umea and Uppsala (Sweden); Reykjavik (Iceland); Aarhus (Denmark); Tartu (Estonia).
