Students who are exposed to bullying, but also those who bully others, have an increased risk of psychological ill-health.

We know very little about the quality or impact of different programmes on mental health problems among children and young people. The research programme “Child Promotion/Preventions (ChiPP) for mental health outcomes – From policy to actions and their effects” will address this knowledge gap.

This project follows a Swedish cohort of young people from age 15, with the aim of studying depression and anxiety at ages 20-23 years, and to examine treatment gaps for these conditions.

The research project"Does GOING HOME truly serve the best interest of children placed in out-of-home care? Patterns of family reunification and its impact on the use of healthcare services in children and young people" aims to increase understanding of family reunification patterns and their impact on children's healthcare utilisation in Sweden.

This project aims to examine the extent to which social, economic, and health-related adversities are transmitted across multiple generations – from parents, to children, to grandchildren – and whether processes reflecting resilience may break this reproduction of inequality.

The young people who were placed in SiS special youth homes between 2000-2019 will here be followed up , with the aim of obtaining knowledge about how care works in the short and long term.

Risk and resilience: Pathways to (ill)health among men and women with experiences of childhood adversity (RISE)

This project focuses on three sets of school-contextual conditions which have been subject to structural changes during the past decades in Sweden – school leadership, teachers’ working conditions, and school segregation – and their links to students’ psychological health.

School is a context of central importance in young people's lives, and also an environment that can contribute to shaping behaviour.

Project aim: to investigate whether indicators of “effective schools” is linked to students’ school performance and psychological health, and also explore ‘contrasting contexts’ to the Swedish school setting.

The reporting of stress and stress-related health complaints is high in adolescents, and a gender difference to the disadvantage of girls is a typical finding in large-scale studies. The overall purpose of this research project is to increase the understanding of experiences of stress and stress-related health complaints in adolescent girls and boys.

The research project “The intersection of parental alcohol use disorders and child welfare” aims to increase knowledge about children with parents with alcohol dependence.

Youth mental health is an important asset for modern societies. During the last three decades, a progressive deterioration of youth mental health has occurred. However, the reason for this decline is largely unknown. This project aims at filling these gaps.

The school provides an important arena for the promotion of public health in the younger part of the population. In addition to being a work environment for educational training, the school is a social arena where the training and practicing of social relations takes place.

The purpose of this project is to assess the unintended health consequences of Sweden’s parental leave policy, while addressing the interplay between parental leave use and health, both before and after childbearing.

How does it affect the children?

The project "Who decides on a child's health care? An interdisciplinary study on the child's right to participation in decisions concerning care and treatment" explores how the interaction between children, custodians and health care staff affects children's right to participation, determination and integrity in their own health care.
