Iman Alaie

I am a post-doctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet, with a background as a clinical psychologist within child and adolescent mental health services. From mid-September 2024, I also hold a position as a senior lecturer at Uppsala University.

My research interests fall broadly into the areas of psychiatric epidemiology, clinical psychology, public health sciences, and insurance medicine. Currently, I am involved in a series of projects using longitudinal and twin designs to address key questions relevant to understanding labor market marginalization among youths and young adults with various mental health conditions, such as unipolar depression, anxiety disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions. Such understanding may hopefully help to inform social policymaking and improve public mental health strategies for vulnerable groups at risk of facing adverse health and social functioning over the longer term.
