Barbara Holzer

Dr. phil. MPH., Biologist and Public Health Specialist

My primary research focus is on how patients cope with multiple illnesses and what quality of life they have. I am investigating what strategies of psycho-social adjustment of multi-morbid patients and their life partners have in this complex health situation. I am also interested in Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) as a key element to promote patient-centered care and enable value-based healthcare. My other activities include project management and in particular quality management of research projects according to good clinical practice.
