About Matilda Karlsson

About

My academic education has been interdisciplinary. I have a bachelor degree in Global Studies and a masters degree in Global Health. Apart from this I have also studied french and gender studies at the faculty of humanities, University of Gothenburg.

My research interest centers around equity, health and well-being, and how we can develop and implement health promoting and preventive change strategies and interventions.

Thesis project

Since September 2021 I am a PhD student at the Department of Social Work. I am writing my thesis within the project Leaving Care - a comparison study of implementation, change mechanisms and effectiveness of transition services for youth.

The topic of my thesis project is the development, implementation and effects of different supportive interventions for youth who are transitioning from out-of-home care to independent living.
