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
Vill du delta i en intervjustudie för att öka inkludering och hållbarhet i arbetslivet för unga vuxna med tvångssyndrom (OCD)?
Just nu pågår en studie vid Uppsala universitet som undersöker hur stöd och insatser för unga vuxna med OCD kan utvecklas för att främja arbetsförmåga, stödja inträde till arbetsmarknaden och ett hållbart arbetsdeltagande samt minska risken för sjukfrånvaro.
Vi söker nu personer i åldern 19-29 år som har diagnosen OCD som vill medverka i en intervju.
