Description of activity:
I work as a professor of social policy and I have a title of docent in health policy. I am particularly interested in the effectiveness of social policy, social and health services and the promotion of wellbeing, especially from the perspective wellbeing and societal equity.
I lead the “Effectiveness in social and health services” research community and the operation and development of the “House of Effectiveness” network. In addition, I work in close cooperation with the Northern Savo welfare region, where the special theme of the cooperation is wellbeing services research and effectiveness.
I teach at all levels of the subjects related to the mentioned themes, effectiveness research methods, designs, and supervise dissertations related to the topics.
