Niklas Långström

I have a longstanding interest in extending our knowledge of mechanisms behind the development of serious norm-breaking or sexually harmful or abusive behaviours. And in improving multimodal selective and indicated interventions to support disadvantaged and at-risk children and youth in avoiding adverse outcomes.

 

I also work with projects studying incidence, risk factors and outcomes for people in inpatient child and youth psychiatric care (on a ward) with or without coercion. Or in compulsory social care (National Board of Institutional Care) or custodial sanctions due to serious crime (closed youth care or [youth] prison).

 

Lastly, I am interested in how to conduct optimally correct and informative systematic reviews of the effectiveness of medical and psychosocial interventions against psychiatric disorders, and violent and sexually harmful or abusive behaviour.

 

I work together with epidemiologists and biostatisticians within Karolinska Institutet at the:

Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics where I was previously (2010-2016) employed as a professor

Dept of Clinical Neuroscience/Centre for Psychiatry Research.

 

I also collaborate with psychology and psychiatry professionals at:

Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, Canada

The University of Southern Denmark

Tampere University, Finland

Dept of Forensic Psychiatry, Oxford University, UK
