FORevidence
a transdisciplinary characterization of, and new methodology for, a multiply disadvantaged and vulnerable patient group.
FORevidence seeks to provide a basis for the development of evidence-based practice in Swedish forensic psychiatry. It comprises four Main Aims:
- to determine important areas for intervention,
- to clarify preconditions for, importance and implications of user involvement,
- to develop, adapt and evaluate treatment methods for forensic psychiatry, and
- to initiate a national platform for transdisciplinary forensic psychiatric research in Sweden.
FORevidence employs a unique transdisciplinary approach with emphasis on diversity, user involvement, and knowledge transfer between patients, healthcare providers, general society and scientists. Its focus is on development and evaluation of new interventions including modern technology, and close collaboration between science and clinical practice. FORevidence incorporates nine research projects and a transdisciplinary research platform, all described separately.
FORevidence is financed by the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (FORTE), Dnr. 2018-01409.
