Carola Ray
Group Leader
Senior Researcher, PhD in Public Health, Docent in Nutrition
Research Group: Health Promotion
My interest is in how the physical and psychosocial environment of preschool- and primary school-aged children associates with children’s health behaviours (such as diet, physical activity, sleep and screen use), weight, and wellbeing. My focus is on the role of nature visits for children’s health and wellbeing, and how to by interventions promote health behaviours among children. I am the Principal Investigator in the Naturkraft (Empowered by Nature) project, and the sub-studies of DAGIS (DAGIS intervention and DAGIS Salo).
