Linn Andersson Konke

I am a postdoctoral researcher in child and adolescent health in Susanne Andermo’s research group, focusing on health promotion among children and adolescents and their families. My background is in developmental psychology, and my PhD research examined early self‑regulation, temperament and executive functions in young children with a family history of autism and ADHD within a large infant‑sibling study (the EASE project). 

My current work includes collaboration with the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences on a school‑based health‑promoting intervention led by Gisela Nyberg and Susanne Andermo, focusing on implementation and effects among adolescents. I also co‑create a physical‑activity intervention together with special support schools to promote participation and well‑being among neurodivergent adolescents and lead a project funded by the Swedish National Centre for Research in Sports (CIF) on developing and evaluating a model for collaboration in school and sport contexts to strengthen inclusive collaboration and increase access to meaningful physical activity for neurodivergent adolescents.

Im involved in teaching in scientific methods, child and adolescent health, and neurodevelopmental conditions at the undergraduate Nursing Programme and the advanced-level Specialist Nursing Programme in Paediatric Care. I also serve as a co‑supervisor for a doctoral student belonging to the Research School in Health Science (FiH) at KI.
