About me

PhD (2000) and associate professor in psychology (2005). Professor in social alcohol and drug research (2017).
 

Research interests

My research evolves around various aspects of addictive behaviors including alcohol, drugs and excessive gambling. Some of my research interests concerns:

• The development of alcohol habits both over the life course and over time in the general population

• Psychosocial treatment studies of alcohol and illicit drugs (mainly psychotherapeutic studies). Mainly, this includes several naturalistic and controlled studies of psychological interventions with substance abuse patients.

• Methodological studies on alcohol, illicit drugs and gambling. This includes comparisons of data collections methods (web versus telephone and web versus paper and pencil), effects of missing data and psychometric evaluations of instruments.
