Research into mental health is a broad field with many important questions to address. In order to achieve a robust, equitable, and gender-neutral mental health across the population, Forte has been running a national research programme in this area since 2021. The programme is part of the Swedish Government’s initiative to promote mental well-being and prevent and treat mental ill-health through research and innovation.

As per the Government’s instructions, the programme will be operated according to a strategic research agenda that outlines the programme’s vision, goals, and strategies. The agenda also includes the prioritised research areas in which the programme will support research.
