Mental health, treatment and implementation
The research group is involved in projects related to mental health, ranging from studies examining the implementation and effectiveness of treatment and health services to molecular basic research.
The main focus of this research group is on projects that investigate the quality, implementation, and effectiveness of treatment and health services for individuals with mental health issues. Research on how health services are provided and their impact on patients and their families is an area of great significance for the further development of services. Users, family members, and healthcare professionals' experiences with various types of treatment and services are important elements in the research.
The research group is involved in several large national projects that influence the shaping of Norwegian health policy. Among these are various projects aiming to improve services for patients with severe mental disorders, including the examination of medication-free treatment options and the testing of interdisciplinary treatment teams. They also work to involve more patients in research through the introduction of broad consent.
Their goal is to contribute to high-quality mental health services and services that promote user involvement, user satisfaction, and the reduction of coercion. The purpose is to evaluate and quality-assure the work done in the field of mental health and to explore, test, and communicate new evidence-based practices.
