Adjunct or Visiting, Global Health

Dr. Jannie Nielsen is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Emory Global Diabetes Research Center and holds a PhD in Global Health from University of Copenhagen. Dr. Nielsen’s main research interest is in translation of the current clinical proof-of-concept evidence for prevention of type 2 diabetes into low-cost effective and feasible population-wide interventions, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Her work focuses on identifying family related risk and psychosocial factors associated with prevention and caretaking of diabetes and lead to a novel understanding of which role the family should have, when the family should have such roles and when the family needs help to carry the burden of diabetes care.
