Our very own @UnnurAValdimars @uni_iceland gave a plenary lecture at #EPA2023 on long-term mental and physical outcomes among war migrants. The talk emphasized that this is a highly vulnerable group in need of long-term health surveillance – and how we can do better.

Rebekka Lynch is a physician and a Ph.D. student in public health at @CPHIceland where her focus is on the psycho-physiological sequelae of violence against women.

Her results suggest that violence exposure is associated with higher cortisol levels.

[SAGA Cohort @SAGACohort]

Recent findings from @SAGACohort suggest a third of women report lifetime exposure to sexual harassment/violence and 8% report exposure in their current workplace.

The highest prevalence of current workplace sexual harassment/violence was among women working as public figures.

[SAGA Cohort @SAGACohort]

Looking forward to hearing keynote speaker @UnnurAValdimars, the @SAGACohort study's guarantor, give a talk about trauma- and stress-related disorders and the development of somatic disease, at @ISTSSnews in Atlanta next November!

Our latest findings from the @SAGACohort highlight how widespread workplace sexual harassment and violence is among women residing in Iceland, particularly among young women and those who work shifts.
