Child and adolescent psychosocial well-being and mental health
The psychosocial well-being of children and adolescents is examined from the perspective of risk/protective factors and development, life course trajectories, exposure to different life events, exploring, for example, the influences of family, school, peers and the broader society and their interaction. Mental health research focuses on both epidemiological, register-based, and intervention studies. These studies investigate the psychosocial wellbeing in children and adolescents, the factors influencing them, and the effectiveness of different programs.

Longer description to be used in some settings
The psychosocial well-being of children and adolescents is examined from multiple perspectives, including risk and protective factors, developmental processes, life course trajectories, and exposure to different life events. The research explores how various environments—such as family, school, peer groups, and the broader society—influence children’s and adolescents’ mental health and how these influences interact.
Mental health research in this area includes both epidemiological and register-based studies as well as intervention research. These studies aim to identify the factors that shape psychosocial well-being and to assess the effectiveness of different programs and interventions designed to support mental health. The overall goal is to understand and promote the mental and social well-being of children and adolescents in a comprehensive and evidence-based manner.
