Fabian Lenhard

Dr Lenhard is a psychologist and PhD with a primary research aim to increase the availability of effective, evidence-based psychological treatments.

Digital behavioural interventions
Digital formats, either text- or video-based, have the potential to increase access to effective behavioural and psychological interventions. Dr Lenhard has been involved in the development, evaluation and implementation of digital interventions for a range of target audiences and conditions. 

Data-driven insights and decision making in mental healthcare
Measurement-based care (MBC) is the practice of regularly using mesurements with clients to track and, if needed, adjust the treatment process. Aggregated data from MBC enables services to make data-driven insights and decision making. However, implementation rates of MBC are low. The aim of Dr Lenhard's research in this area is to study the potential of MBC in regular mental healthcare enviroments as a tool for better organizational decision making.

Sustainable behaviour change
The aim of this research area is to study facilitators of sustainable behavior change. In current projects, Dr Lenhard collaborates with KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm Environent Institute (SEI) in a cross-disciplinary integration of behavioural science with insights from climate action research and consumer behaviour research.
