About me

I am a PhD student at Centre for Psychiatry Research, Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet, and a clinical psychiatrist at Riddargatan 1, Mottagningen för alkohol och hälsa/Mottagningen för elitidrott och hälsa, Stockholm Centre for Dependency Disorders.

My main research focus is treatment of alcohol dependence in primary care. 

Main supervisor: Anders Hammarberg, co-supervisors are Sven Andreasson and Erik Hedman-Lagerlöf.

Research description

Alcohol dependence is highly prevalent, but most individuals with alcohol dependence are not reached with treatment. Primary care is a potential base for treating alcohol dependence. The overall objective of my doctoral project is to study new approaches for identification and treatment of alcohol dependence in primary care.
