Within the research program Care Demand of the Chronically Ill and Disabled I mainly focus on young people. I study what young people with a chronic condition find important and what they need in their development towards adulthood. Important themes are, for example, school, work, relationships and fulfilling a meaningful role in society.

Young people themselves know best what is going on in their lives. It is therefore important that they have a say in research that concerns them. We encourage this by applying creative and visual methods and by working with them in different phases of our research. This facilitates a better connection between our research and practice and also it is very educational.
