Non-consensual intimate image dissemination: A systematic mixed research synthesis of perpetrator motives and characteristics
This research project is led by Stine Nygård, as a part of her PhD project on non-consensual dissemination of intimate images. This study consists of a systematic literature review of research regarding the characteristics and motives of those who non-consensually share (perpetrators) others’ sexual images and/or videos.
Mental Health and Quality of Life – Gender and Sexuality Diversity (LGBTQ+)
This project aims to carry out a literature review and meta-synthesis of studies concerning the unmet healthcare needs related to mental health, substance abuse and violence in the LGBTQ+ population, their health-seeking behaviour and perceived barriers to seeking health care. The findings will contribute to the development of knowledge about unmet needs, which can form the basis for interventions and the development of more equal services.
