In particular, epidemiological analysis, health psychology, biostatistics, prevention, and research design. My research focus concerns analyses of inequalities in health, evaluation of internet-based interventions for behavior change and stress-reduction, and surveillance of health determinants in the general population. Scientific collaborations Sexual and Gender Minority Health – A European wide initiative with the aim to: increase knowledge on sexual and gender minority populations differences in health and health care in Europe; promote monitoring of health disparities among LGBT populations; explore the underlying mechanisms and reasons for health disparities in this group; spread knowledge on sexual and gender minority populations differences in health and health care; and promote the development of interventions that aim to tackle these differences. Melanoma Genetics Consortium, GenoMEL - The Melanoma Genetics Consortium, GenoMEL, is an international consortium with members from 11 European countries, Canada, Australia, Israel and the USA. The collaboration was initiated in 2003 and in 2005 the consortium received extensive funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Program (FP7). Since December 2005, I have been responsible for the behavioral research endeavors within the consortia. I have had the main responsibility for conducting a large scale international collection of behavioral data relevant for melanoma development, prevention and detection in 12 countries, and the analysis and reporting.
