Ongoing and previous project:

  • Obesity Surgery: Motivation, psychological effect and behavior change

    • The goal is to early identify those who after obesity surgery / conservative overweight treatment will have problems with weight loss maintenance, eating habits, physical activity and mental health by examining how weight loss history, self-regulation and other psychosocial factors affect post-treatment behavior change and mental health.

    • Patients undergoing obesity surgery at the Center for morbid obesity, Oslo University Hospital, Aker and clients receiving conservative overweight treatment are followed in a longitudinal study over a 10-year period. The study started in January 2011 and 10-year follow-up study will start in the autumn of 2021..

  • Long-term psychological effect after cancer treatment: Subproject in PROCCA (Protons Contra Cancer): UiO: Life Science - convergence environment

    • The aim of the sub-project at the Department of Psychology is to study the long-term effect on body image, sexual health, and fatigue after cancer treatment in the neck / head region. The study started in January 2020.
  • Cosmetic surgery: Motivation and psychological effect

    • The project will examine the scope and attitudes to cosmetic surgery and procedures in Norwegian women, as well as motivation to carry out cosmetic surgery. A panel of 3-4000 women will receive an anonymous online form. Start-up January 2022.
  • Prevention: Evaluation of effect
