Cecilia Åslund serves as an Adjunct Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences within the Faculty of Medicine, and as an Adjunct Professor and CEO at the Center for Clinical Research in Västmanland County Council. Her work bridges academic research with clinical practice, focusing on adolescent mental health, substance use, and behavioral addictions. With numerous publications spanning over a decade, she has established herself as a significant contributor to public health research in Sweden. Dr. Åslund's research interests center on adolescent mental health, particularly examining the interplay between genetic factors and environmental influences on behaviors such as substance use and gambling. She investigates how social determinants, parenting styles, and early life experiences shape mental health trajectories from adolescence into adulthood. Her work often employs longitudinal designs and genetic analyses to understand differential susceptibility to environmental factors, with a particular focus on gene-environment interactions involving serotonin and dopamine pathways. Analysis of Dr. Åslund's recent publications reveals a strong focus on adolescent mental health, substance use patterns, and behavioral addictions. Her research increasingly examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and substance use behaviors. She frequently employs sophisticated methodologies including genetic analyses, longitudinal designs, and psychophysiological measures. A notable trend is her exploration of how protective factors (like positive parenting) can mitigate genetic vulnerabilities, contributing to the differential susceptibility framework in developmental psychopathology. Dr. Åslund actively collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions on studies examining adolescent development, mental health, and substance use. Her work often involves large population-based cohorts and employs interdisciplinary approaches combining psychology, genetics, and public health perspectives. She has contributed to the development of assessment tools such as the Gaming Addiction Identification Test (GAIT) and has investigated various aspects of psychosocial assessment in different contexts including pregnancy.
