Clair Enthoven

Clair Enthoven is a Researcher at Erasmus MC, affiliated with the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry / Psychology. Her work is primarily conducted within the framework of the Generation R Study, a major longitudinal cohort investigating health and development from fetal life into adulthood. She contributes to research in psychological epidemiology, public health, and child development.

Her research interests span several critical domains in child and adolescent health, including the psychological and behavioral impacts of unplanned pregnancies, development of internalizing and externalizing problems, the role of physical activity and sport in self-esteem, and the epidemiology of myopia with attention to gender and educational factors. She employs advanced statistical methods such as logistic and linear regression, cohort analysis, and Mendelian randomization.

The most recent articles reflect a strong trend toward interdisciplinary public health research, integrating psychiatry, ophthalmology, and social determinants of health. Her work frequently addresses health inequalities, intervention modeling, and policy-relevant findings, particularly in maternal and child health.

Scientific Contributions and Outreach:

• Published over 25 peer-reviewed articles and one doctoral thesis.
• Created open datasets, including R scripts for cluster analysis of unplanned pregnancies.
• Engaged in public communication through media contributions discussing unplanned pregnancy.

Advising and Grants: While no formal advisees are listed, her collaborations with senior researchers such as Jansen, El Marroun, and Klaver suggest active participation in funded research projects, likely supported by grants from Dutch public health or scientific institutions. She contributes to large-scale, multidisciplinary studies requiring substantial funding infrastructure.

Labs and Teams: She is embedded in the Generation R Study team at Erasmus MC, a multidisciplinary research initiative integrating epidemiology, genetics, psychology, and public health. This team conducts population-based research with a focus on early-life determinants of health and disease.
