Her research spans Public Health, Social Medicine, and Occupational Health with emphasis on epidemiological analysis of workforce dynamics. Key interests include maternal health in occupational settings, register-based cohort methodologies, and temporal trends in work absence patterns. She investigates how industrial sectors and occupational roles influence pregnancy-related workforce participation through nationwide Danish registry data.

Andersen's recent publication examines absence during pregnancy across Danish occupational sectors using longitudinal register data. This work reveals critical patterns in industrial disparities and temporal shifts, contributing to evidence-based workplace health policies. The research demonstrates methodological rigor in handling large-scale population data while addressing real-world implications for pregnant workers' health and employment continuity.
