Frederik Schou-Juul is an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark's National Institute of Public Health, focusing on public health ethics with a specific emphasis on the ethical dimensions of neurocognitive degenerative diseases such as dementia, along with psychosocial phenomena like stigma. His work is characterized by an exploration of the complex moral landscapes surrounding dementia care, ethical decision-making, dignity, autonomy, and the lived experiences of caregivers. He is actively engaged in interdisciplinary efforts at both national and European levels aimed at enhancing ethical literacy in dementia care practices, contributing to international frameworks that address ethical challenges in long-term care. Schou-Juul's research investigates ethically and conceptually complex phenomena, such as ethical self-efficacy and stigma, and seeks to translate these into empirical measures. He has a particular interest in integrating qualitative and theoretical perspectives in the development and validation of measurement scales. His research methodology blends philosophy with qualitative inquiry and mixed-methods intervention research, focusing on stigma as a construct defined by measurable instruments across various disciplines and populations. Currently, he leads a comprehensive study on stigma measurement, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, which contributes to a critical reflection on the methodological assumptions shaping this research area.
