A few months ago, Aranka Ballering received her PhD with her research into male-female differences in persistent physical complaints and on April 23 she received a Rubicon grant from the NWO (Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research) to continue her research at Ghent University.
She will investigate stigmas surrounding men and women with persistent physical complaints. With her research, Aranka wants to discover how she can reduce the stigma surrounding persistent physical complaints in a gender-sensitive manner.
