Johan Fredin
About me
I have a background as a clinical psychologist working with children and
adolescents. I'm also trained and have worked with railway and metro
technology as a train driver, train traffic controller, and technician.
Since 2016, in parallel with my work as a clinical psychologist, I have been
working as a consultant for the Swedish rail network to prevent
suicides and trespassing primarily.
I am currently employed at the Center for Health Economics, Informatics, and
Healthcare Research (CHIS) at Region Stockholm and belong to the National
Center for Suicide Research and Prevention (NASP) where my job consists of
providing expert advise on minimizing suicides in the transport system. The
role of being an expert also includes providing support to various regional
and national infrastructure projects, as well as conducting research and
innovation in the field.
I am entrusted as the project manager in a multi-year research project
commissioned by the Swedish Transport Administration with the intention of
better understanding the occurrence and cause of suicidal acts at bridges,
railways, and road traffic.
I am particularly interested in scalable suicide prevention measures for the
transport system.
