Research

My research focuses around development, effects and long-term outcomes of health care intervention to prevent and treat alcohol use disorders. My main focus is on individuals with moderate severity of alcohol dependence.

Moreover, I lead projects on the utilization of evidence-based treatments. I am also interested in treatment seeking for alcohol use disorders and interventions to increase treatment seeking with special focus on stigma.

Teaching

My teaching mainly focusses around epidemiology, prevention and treatment of
alcohol use disorders.
I teach at:
- Clinical Psychologist program at ̽��ѡ
- Center for Psychiatry Research in Stockholm, mainly health care staff
