Research at CBU
Research projects are conducted in collaboration with various subjects and research groups at Karlstad University and other institutions, at national or international levels.
Children as relatives in primary care
Children and young people who live in families where an adult relative is sick, has addiction problems, has a disability, exposes the child or a relative to violence or unexpectedly dies are covered by the concept of children as relatives. These children have an increased risk of their own mental or other ill health during upbringing or as adults. The project aims to develop a research-based knowledge base for Region Värmland’s continued work with children as relatives in primary care.
