Our research focuses on acute conditions in primary care, cancer diseases, quality development, physical activity, multimorbidity and mental health in general practice.
We publish scientific papers on general practice and family medicine, and we disseminate new knowledge on preventive care and treatment in general practice.
The Research Unit for General Practice in Aarhus is an independent institution that conducts research in general practice and related areas of health care.
Many elderly residents in care homes receive a lot of medication. This increases the risk of complications due to side effects and drug interactions. Active involvement of the elderly can lead to more appropriate medication. A new study explores how the elderly can be involved more systematically.
Many Danes suffer from stress, depression or anxiety. Most are treated by their own general practitioner. However, a new PhD project from AU Health shows that the tests used by general practitioners do not always measure accurately.
More people are living with chronic disease, which increases the risk of receiving potentially inappropriate medication. A new PhD thesis shows that this risk varies between social groups.
