Presentation

I am a senior researcher at Kela Research. Register-based studies on health and income inequalities are a particular focus of my research. Most recently, I have studied the family and regional factors predictive of children’s and adolescents’ use of medicines. I am currently studying the use of rehabilitation and reimbursements for medical care expenses in different populations.
