The aim of the PhD project is to study long-term effects of head and neck cancer and head and neck cancer treatment on body image, sexual health, and fatigue/work disability.
Screening: Predictors of mammography screening in Norway. The study was conducted as an addition to the Breast Size Satisfaction Survey (BSSS), an international cross-cultural collaboration project on mapping breast (dis)satisfaction.
