  • Alcohol-attributed disease burden and formal alcohol policies in the Nordic countries (1990-2019): an analysis using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (2024, European Journal of Public Health)

Their work has appeared frequently in publication venues such as:

  • The Lancet Regional Health - Europe
  • Health Research Policy and Systems
  • European Journal of Public Health

Among frequent coauthors are Ann Kristin Knudsen, Emilie Agardh, Keshab Deuba, Joonas H. Kauppila, and Adnan Kısa, each having collaborated on multiple projects with Sigfusdottir.
