Research

*Psychiatric epidemiological studies and intervention studies*.
1. Regassa- RCT with internet based cognitive behavioural therapy, physical
exercise and treatment as usual for mild to moderate depression in primary
care. It was a collaboration between 6 Regions in Sweden, Lunds university
and KI. 946 patients were included.
2. Founder of the PART study- a longitudinal population based study aiming at
exploring risk and protective factors for mental health.
3. Since 2015 the *Fitforlife* study which aims at increasing functioning
(biological, cognitive and social) in persons affected by psychosis by
using physical exercise. Affected persons are educated as physical exercise
trainers and run sessions for fellow patients. Currently 3 Regions in Sweden
and 16 units are involved.
Collaboration with Center of Molecular Medicine with the aim of looking at
inflammatory markers and epigenetics.
