About me

News

The research council FORTE has awarded me and colleagues 4.980.000 SEK to conduct a study on why are some people resilient when faced with adversities in later life and others not? The study will be carried out with amongst other colleagues Elin Peterson (SU), Neda Agahi, Johan Fritzel (both  Karolinska Institutet), Jolanta Perek-Bialas (Krakow University) and Virpi Timonen (Dublin University). The project is a mixed methods and comparative project on psychosocial resilience.

With colleagues Elin Peterson and Marta Szebehely, I have previously received 992.000 SKR also from FORTE to conduct a systematic review of COVID-19 and long-term care for older people. For more information (in Swedish), see here.
