About me

I am an Associate Professor of Public Health Science. My research focuses on identifying predictors of adolescent
alcohol and drug use, as well as on examining the long term consequences of
use and dependence.
I am also involved in the Global Burden of Disease project, collecting and
presenting alcohol and drug consumption data for Sweden, doing comparative
studies between countries, and working in close collaboration with the
Institute of Population Health Metrics, Seattle, US and with several alcohol
and drug researchers in e.g. the Nordic countries.
