Norwegian to English: Klinikk psykisk helse og avhengighet General field: Science Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - Norwegian Klinikk psykisk helse og avhengighet (PHA)
Klinikkens virksomhet består av forskning, formidling og undervisning innenfor fagfeltene psykiatri, rus og avhengighet. Klinikken omfatter fem enheter organisert etter forskningstema og enhetene er lokalisert på sykehusene.
Psykiatrisk forskning er først og fremst opptatt av å studere psykiske lidelsers årsaksforhold, utvikling og utbredelse i befolkningen. I tillegg forsøker den å evaluere behandlingsresultater.
Målet er altså å bedre forstå psykiske lidelser for på den måten å øke kvaliteten på behandlingen av de samme lidelsene og å sikre at den behandling som gis er såkalt evidensbasert – det vil si har en dokumentert effekt.
Translation - English Division of Mental Health and Addiction
The activities of the division consist of research, education and dissemination of research results within the fields of psychiatry, substance abuse and addiction. The division encompasses five units organized by research topic, and the units are located at the hospitals.
Psychiatric research is primarily concerned with studying the causes of mental disorders, development and distribution in the population. In addition, an important function of psychiatric research is to evaluate treatments.
In other words, the aims of the Division’s research is to better understand mental disorders in order to increase the quality of future treatments and to ensure that existing treatment methods are evidence-based, i.e. that they have documented effects.
