Forhelse well represented at conference on health services research
The annual, national Health Services Research Conference was held in Trondheim on November 6-7 this year (Helsetjenesteforskningskonferansen). More than 220 participants from research institutions, central health administration, health enterprises and municipalities attended
This year’s theme was “Knowledge and innovation needs in municipal health and care services“. The local organizers were SINTEF and NTNU in collaboration with the National Network for Health Services Research.
The plenary lecture on day two was entirely related to “Mental health at system level and challenges in the field of practice”. In the parallel session on mental health and internet-based treatment, Forhelse was represented with four of six presentations:
- Researcher Zareen Abbas Khan: “Costs and outcomes of a therapist-guided
internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy: a multicenter observational study“
