She has investigated risk factors and long-term consequences of pelvic girdle pain using questionnaire data and in-depth interviews with women 12 years post-childbirth. Her work has identified clinically relevant subgroups by analyzing psychological and clinical characteristics, creating opportunities for targeted person-centered treatment strategies. A pilot project is underway to prepare for the implementation of a prospective longitudinal study on pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy, focusing on methodological development and recruitment strategies. Additionally, she has experience in international research collaboration and previously served as a data collection coordinator for the Cross-Country Ultrasound Study (CROCUS), which explores the perspectives of midwives and obstetricians on obstetric ultrasound rights across different income countries.
