I am part of the research program UserInvolve and study co-produced research in the mental health sector, peer support, and a service user involvement method called Patient/User Forums.
I am a political scientist and postdoctoral researcher in social work. I work on developing theory and methods for co-produced research. The focus is on co-productions between researchers, user organizations, and welfare actors in the mental health sector. I am also involved in a RCT study on a co-produced peer support intervention and a co-production project where we will study patient forums and translate, implement, and evaluate the method so that it works in a municipal social psychiatric context. All these research projects are part of the FORTE-funded research program UserInvolve. UserInvolve studies various service user involvement methods in the mental health sector in Sweden. I am also the coordinator for the program, employed by NSPH.
