Kristin Hestmann Vinjerui
About
Background
Medical doctor: Currently specializing in public health medicine. Clinical experience from addiction medicine and psychiatry, neurology, rehabilitation and general practice.
Research experience: PhD (NTNU and Australia), senior researcher National Institute of Public Health (NIPH, Folkehelseinstituttet), postdoctor NTNU/ISM.
Education:
Cand. med. 2010, NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Joint Phd in Behaviour and Health 2014 - 2021. Joint with Australian National University, ANU.
Fellow in "Behavior and Health", 2014-2021, a joint PhD program between the Australian National University, ANU/Canberra and the Department of Public Health and Nursing (ISM), NTNU/Trondheim. My project was anchored in the research group Social Epidemiology and located at HUNT Research Centre, Levanger.
Postdok, 2022 -, part of the project "Register research for the health care" (Regforsk) at ISM.
Research:
Health care research. Social epidemiology. Multimorbidity.
In my doctoral thesis, I studied social differences in the prevalence of multimorbidity (having multiple, chronic health problems), and their common impact on death. Data was from the Health Survey in Nord-Trøndelag (HUNT3, 2006-08). We found that even complex multimorbidity was common in a general, Norwegian population, with skewed social distribution throughout adulthood and in death. The thesis is open access, available here. Supervisors were Erik R Sund, Steinar Krokstad, Johan H. Bjørngaard and Kirsty Douglas, ANU.
At NIPH, I worked for the Norwegian Science Program on Covid-19, especially to strengthen networks and cooperation across sectors. In addition, I did research on data from the Emergency preparedness register (Beredt C-19), on covid-19 in a socieoeconomic and immigrant health perspective.
In my postdoctoral project, I will investigate cause and effect in register data with methods, using principles from randomized studies. My project will specifically investigate conditions in the regular general practitioner scheme and patient health outcomes and use of health care. The protocol is open access, available here.
Associate professor
I work with the year 1 and 2 medical students early patient contact in general practice, and communcation and clinical exercises. Lege-pasient-kurset (LPK).
