Health equity and working life
The research group Health equity and working life / HEAL is led by Anna Nyberg, associate professor in psychology, senior lecturer in public health and licensed psychologist. HEAL focuses on developing knowledge on how health equity can be achieved, with a primary focus on working life. Among other things, we conduct research about the health consequences of the gender segregated labor market and the effects of vocational rehabilitation for individuals with short-term as well as long-term diseases. We also conduct research regarding people with various cognitive and intellectual disabilities and their health-related living conditions
