Biography
Eli Marie Wiig is a Registered Nurse, pursuing her PhD Degree. She is an experienced Clinical Nurse, Teacher and Manager. She works as a special advisor at a resource-center in the addiction field in Norway. Her passion is to improve health and wellbeing conditions for disadvantaged children, especially children in families with substance-abusing parents. Her research with substance-dependent mothers has provided qualitative knowledge useful for providing improved treatment and support for such families. Her research includes a study on pregnant substance-abusing women in involuntary treatment. Since Norway is the only country with this kind of legislation, results from this treatment may be particularly interesting for an international audience.
