Nanna Husted Jensen is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Public Health, Aarhus University, Denmark, specializing in complex interventions and health promotion for pregnant women, families, children, and adolescents through rigorous mixed-methods research.

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD in Public Health from Aarhus University
• Master's degree in Public Health Science

Her research centers on theoretical and methodological frameworks for complex interventions, particularly gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) management and long-term lifestyle interventions during pregnancy. She investigates intergenerational health impacts, focusing on preventing childhood obesity in offspring of mothers with pregnancy-related overweight through family-centered approaches.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent emphasis on evaluating family-based health promotion interventions via randomized controlled trials (RCTs), with significant contributions to the Face-it and Bump2Baby and Me trials. Her work demonstrates expertise in process evaluation, intervention fidelity, and health literacy evolution across perinatal periods, often collaborating with Steno Diabetes Centers and University College Dublin.
