CHAP - Child Health and Parenting

CHAP is an international and interdisciplinary research group focusing on improving the mental health and wellbeing of children, youth and parents, through science, clinical development, and translational work.

CHAP conducts applied research to promote the health and wellbeing of children and families. The optimum use of health and social interventions to promote equity and children's healthy development is at the core of social sustainability. CHAP has well-developed collaborations with clinicians, national and international partners from multiple disciplines, as well as municipalities, regions, authorities, and social entrepreneurs. We are therefore well-placed to continue to be a relevant research partner, evaluator, and knowledge-broker in developing health- and social services for children and families. Our commitment to co-produce our research with our target groups and give voice to those seldom heard put us in a unique position in Sweden.
