My dissertation was a registry study of sociodemographic and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ factors
associated with postpartum psychosis, as well as long-term follow-up of
postpartum psychosis.
My current research field is psychiatric diagnoses in primary care. During
2013–2017, I was principal investigator for the SAFARI study, which
investigated treatment methods for psychiatric diagnoses in primary care.
SAFARI was a collaborative project between three regions (Västra Götaland,
Västmanland and Stockholm). In the DUDE study, where I am principal
investigator, we study differences in biomarkers between stress-induced
exhaustion disorder and major depression.
Another research field is respiratory diseases. As a principal investigator
for the PRIMAIR study, we have in an RCT at primary health centers in
Stockholm, studied the effect of continuing education about COPD to general
practitioners for outcomes in patients with COPD. The patients' information
needs for COPD have also been investigated. The PRIMAIR study has been
incorporated into , which is a longitudinal study in which
materials on patients with COPD and asthma, both in primary care and in
hospitals, have been collected on several occasions since 2005 from several
regions (Uppsala, Örebro, Dalarna, Värmland and Stockholm).
