Her primary research interests include:

• Drug Treatment and Addiction Studies
• Public Health and Mortality
• Social Work and Therapeutic Communication
• Immigration Studies and Cultural Barriers
• Gender Studies in Substance Abuse Treatment

Her work investigates systemic challenges in drug treatment for immigrant populations, analyzing overdose risks post-treatment, gender-specific needs among male immigrant drug users, and cultural barriers causing treatment discontinuation. This research emphasizes the intersection of immigration status, gender identity, and healthcare access within Nordic welfare systems.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent focus on vulnerable populations in substance abuse treatment, with methodological emphasis on qualitative studies of therapeutic interactions. Her work demonstrates how cultural misunderstandings and lack of gender-responsive approaches compromise treatment efficacy for immigrants, particularly highlighting risks in post-treatment phases and systemic monologues in cross-cultural care.
