Our Research Projects

In this project, we gather pressing questions among the general public about death and dying, and create short animated videos in which we answer these questions. These videos will be widely shared.

The aim of PROFILE is to develop and validate a prediction tool to predict unplanned hospital admissions in community-dwelling older adults. Results may assist GPs in decision making and with targeted preventive interventions.

Current clinical prediction tools are unsuccessful at accurately calculating personalized CVD risk in people with type 2 diabetes. The evolution of risk factors over repeated measurements might hold additional information to improve CVD risk prediction. This joint project with Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus/University Hospital Aarhus aims to assess the utility of repeated risk factor measurements and treatment trajectories in incident CVD risk prediction fot people with type 2 diabetes.

The aim of the Alloy Initiative is to create evidence-based, methodological guidance to develop blended care self-management solutions for patients of diverse backgrounds with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and COPD in primary care.

The aim of CONTACT/CONTACT2 is to study the associations between personal continuity of care in general practice and (1) prescribing; (2) health care use and costs; and (3) mortality.

The goal of the I-RECOVER study is to improve care in patients with chronic dizziness by implementing Vertigo Training, an online version of vestibular rehabilitation, nationwide.

This project examines how GPs can use data feedback for their professional development in a way that would actually change undesired practices and enhance wanted practices and thereby lead to better healthcare for their patients.

The aim of this project is to ascertain that GP trainees develop adequate competencies to provide high quality care for all patient groups, by addressing the mix of patients that trainees take care of.

This project investigates how to create diverse and inclusive learning environments in post-graduate medical education.

Postgraduate medical training programs largely consist of workplace-based learning. The importance of an adequate patient mix for optimal learning in the workplace is recognized by several national and international accreditation standards. Previous studies, including our own, have revealed areas of low exposure in the patient mix of GP trainees. Why, how and what can be done to close these gaps are the aims of this study.

This project aims to define a new expanded professional identity for GPs and investigate factors that hinder or facilitate its formation. Results will help educators to support future GPs in finding a balance between their personal and professional identities.
