Jeg er instituttleder og professor i folkehelsevitenskap, og underviser og veileder studenter på masterstudiet i folkehelsevitenskap. Forskningsinteressene mine er de siste årene i hovedsak konsentrert omkring sosial kapital,sosial bærekraft og helsefremmende aktiviteter, miljø og omgivelser. Men jeg forsker også på subjektive helseplager, psykososialt arbeidsmiljø, arbeidsdeltakelse og sykefravær, arbeidsrettet rehabilitering, helseteknologi og moderne helsebekymringer.
