Ida Hestbjerg

I am a PhD student at the Department of Public Health, Aarhus University, with a background in social anthropology. My research focuses on young people’s mental health and how healthcare services can best support young people experiencing mental health challenges through coordinated and meaningful care pathways.

In my PhD project, I investigate how digital health solutions can support young people’s mental health. Using ethnographic methods, I explore how young people use existing digital health solutions in their everyday lives. In addition, I collaborate with relevant stakeholders to examine how digital solutions can be implemented and create value within healthcare services.

My areas of work include:

Independent research
Development and evaluation of complex interventions
Project management and interdisciplinary collaboration
Teaching and supervision
Written and oral dissemination of research-based knowledge
