Research areas

Applied Public Health

Organisation of the health care system is important as is health literacy as the foundation for individual action. Population mental health is an area of major concern. Special attention must be paid to conditions specific for developing countries.

Clinical Public Health

Most of the Danish population is in regular contact with their general practitioners, and many are referred to hospitals needing optimal care, optimal communication, the possibility of active treatment involvement, and potentially subsequent rehabilitation.

Disease Etiology and Research Methodology

Identifying causes of diseases is a prerequisite for later disease prevention. Methods for design and analysis of observational and experimental epidemiological studies must be continuously developed.

Sport Science

Physical activity is important in maintaining public health, and sports and body culture have societal implications. We explore exercise and training interventions, and we explore sports and body culture from various points of view.
