Trond Heir

Trond Heir is a Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, affiliated with the Interdisciplinary district medical research group. His work focuses on public health, psychiatry, and epidemiology, particularly examining mental health outcomes in populations affected by trauma, pandemics, and sensory impairments.

Research interests include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), mental health during pandemics, and psychosocial factors in visual impairment. Recent studies analyze the intersection of physical health conditions (e.g., congenital heart disease, vision loss) with psychological responses, often using cross-sectional and longitudinal methods in Norwegian populations.

His publications highlight trends in epidemiological analysis of stress disorders, comparative health studies, and disaster response for vulnerable groups. While no formal awards or student lists are detailed, his work spans collaborations with multidisciplinary teams across Norway.
