Patrick Lazarevic studied sociology at the University of Duisburg-Essen, where he received his M.A. with distinction in 2014. He completed his PhD at TU Dortmund University in May 2019 'magna cum laude' with a dissertation examining the (in)variance of self-rated health by age and its use as an indicator of generic health. In his research, he focuses on the field of (quantitative) research methodology, especially effects of methodological artifacts like age-specific response behaviors and the influence of exmploying different approaches on the results of empirical research.

At the Vienna Institute of Demography, he is working in the ERC consolidator grant project ‘Levels and Trends of Health Expectancy: Understanding its Measurement and Estimation Sensitivity’ (LETHE), where he continues his research on health indicators, health perceptions, and their implications for (generic) health measurement and survey methodology.
