Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A follow-up study was conducted with 20 patients after the rehabilitation process at six Health Centres at the University Hospital in Umeå, Sweden. The study was conducted at the Accident Analysis Group, University Hospital in Umeå. None of the patients with physical impairments had self-experiences of injury events in the traffic environment. Sixty percent of the respondents reported feeling safe in the traffic environment. Eighty percent of the respondents were satisfied with the degree of safety and the advantage of roundabouts in traffic environments. The respondents who had personal assistance reported travel anxiety and fear. With respect to dealing with personal assistance and help, risk taking behaviour and poor knowledge of patients with physical impairment, as a vulnerable road-user group, were important risk factors.

Self-reported experiences of incidents and injury events in traffic among hearing impaired people as pedestrians and cyclists. A follow-up study of mobility and use of hearing equipment

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Patients with hearing impairments have no self-reported experiences of feeling insecure in the traffic environment. A follow-up study was conducted with 21 patients after the rehabilitation process at the Hearing centre and the Accident Analysis Group, University Hospital in Umeå, Sweden and 90 per cent of the respondents reported feeling safe in traffic. However, the hearing impaired are more vulnerable than others because they find it difficult to identify in which direction sounds made by cyclists and motorists are actually coming from. In the future, professionals would gain more knowlegde about mobility and injury prevention if they tried fo detect the coping strategies used by patients with hearing impairments.

A systematic review of literature regarding food insecurity in Sweden.
- 2021

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Food insecurity is not a term that is traditionally utilized in relation to Sweden, which has a well-established welfare state. In fact, the discussion around this issue appears to be predicated on the notion that it is a concept existing outside the country. However, European countries are in no way immune to the issue of food insecurity. The Food and Agricultural Organisation to the United Nations holds data on the levels of food insecurity gathered from the Gallup poll and this indicated increasing levels of moderate-to severe insecurity among the population. This indicated a need to review the research and literature on food insecurity in Sweden. This was carried out using two of the largest databases SCOPUS and Public/Publisher MEDLINE (PubMed) as well as a search for gray data using Google Scholar. Following backward and forward searches, in total only five articles were deemed relevant for inclusion. These were discussed and show very limited analysis of the issue, with their connection to food insecurity in Sweden being either abstract or unfocussed on the issue directly. This demonstrates a fundamental gap in this area of research and leaves open questions as to why this is the case.
