Risk Factors and Mental Disorders – Team Gardner

The aetiology of psychiatric disorders remains elusive, however, accumulating evidence suggests causal pathways comprising interaction between genetic vulnerability and key early life environmental exposures. The research aims to advance current knowledge about early key life risk factors for psychiatric disorders by combining an epidemiological populationbased approach with analyses of biological samples.

Psychiatry Sweden – the register linkage at the EPiCSS group

Psychiatry Sweden (PS) contain data of the total population of Sweden. It is a register created by linkage of several national and local registers in Sweden, via the unique personal identification number and consists of approximately 15 million individuals. Our ethical approval covers occurrence, causes and consequences of mental illness, and PS can only be used for that purpose, within this research group. PI Christina Dalman.
