- Sammanfattning
Children and adolescents whose parents have mental illness (CAPRI) are a potentially vulnerable group. Previous studies showed that they are more likely to experience adverse mental health and social outcomes. However, studies investigating their physical health outcomes are scarce. Additionally, reliable estimates on the size of this group and their living conditions in contemporary Sweden is lacking. My thesis aimed to establish the prevalence of CAPRI in Sweden and to deepen our understanding of their physical health and living conditions. Five individual studies were conducted using linkage from various Swedish national registers. One of the studies was also conducted using data from English registers.
