Kathrin Nystad
About
Current position
Researcher
I am currently engaged in developing a user survey for HAVO and HABU in the Mid-Norway health region.
As a PhD Candidate, I was working in “Thrive by 3”, a research project and cooperation between researchers, childcare centers and municipalities to enhance toddlers’ wellbeing and development in their daily interactions in kindergarten. My focus in the project was the hormone cortisol as an indicator for stress.
