Research Interests:
Arnberg’s work centres on the epidemiology and treatment of trauma-related disorders. His team investigates PTSD, prolonged grief, moral distress, and cardiovascular/autoimmune sequelae of stress using large-scale cohort studies and randomised controlled trials. A key focus is digital mental health: the group develops and evaluates evidence-based apps such as PTSD Coach Sweden and My Grief for bereaved parents.
Recent Publication Trends:
Across 2023-2025 Arnberg has published extensively on digital interventions for trauma-exposed adults and adolescents, long-term health consequences of disaster exposure, moral distress among healthcare workers during COVID-19, and sex-specific psychiatric trajectories in nationwide Swedish registers. Studies appear in JAMA Psychiatry, BMJ, Lancet Psychiatry, and European Journal of Psychotraumatology, reflecting rigorous epidemiological designs and innovative e-health methodologies.
Scientific Awards & Recognition:
While no specific prizes are listed, Arnberg’s work has garnered substantial international attention: multiple papers have been picked up by global news outlets (e.g., BMJ 2019 study on stress disorders and cardiovascular risk), referenced in policy documents, and widely shared across social media and academic platforms (Mendeley >300 readers for several articles).
