Jelena Kollmann

Jelena Kollmann is a Visiting Fellow at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in public health research with a focus on vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her work examines healthcare access disparities in low-income communities through interdisciplinary methodologies.

Her research interests center on public health crises and social determinants of health, particularly:

• Health equity in primary care settings
• Vaccination behavior in disadvantaged neighborhoods
• Digital health access barriers
• Risk perception psychology during pandemics
• Socio-demographic influences on preventive behaviors

She employs mixed-methods approaches including qualitative studies, cross-sectional surveys, and logistic regression analyses.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on pandemic response in marginalized communities. Her work demonstrates how socio-economic factors intersect with healthcare access, showing elevated barriers to vaccination in deprived areas and documenting mental health impacts of remote care systems. Key trends include emphasis on patient-centered solutions and structural interventions for health equity.
