Hanne Elberling

Hanne Elberling serves as Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Clinical Medicine within the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry division. Her research focuses on early childhood mental health disorders through large-scale epidemiological studies.

Her primary research interests include:

• Childhood psychiatric disorders in 5-7 year olds
• Longitudinal cohort studies tracking mental health development
• Validation of mental health screening tools like the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
• Risk factor analysis for early identification of mental disorders
• Population-based assessment of psychopathology and functional impairment

Analysis of her publication record reveals strong emphasis on the Copenhagen Child Cohort (CCC2000) study, with methodological focus on longitudinal tracking of mental health outcomes. Her work bridges clinical psychiatry with epidemiological methods, particularly examining how early childhood symptoms predict later disorders. Key trends include validation of screening instruments, investigation of somatic symptoms in psychiatric contexts, and exploration of dietary patterns in relation to mental health.

Her research has been cited extensively across epidemiological and psychiatric literature, with multiple publications referenced in policy documents and receiving significant academic attention through platforms like Mendeley.

Dr. Elberling participates in collaborative research networks centered around the Copenhagen Child Cohort study, working with multidisciplinary teams including epidemiologists, pediatricians, and clinical psychologists to advance understanding of childhood mental health trajectories.
