Emma Fransson is a child psychologist and epidemiologistatStockholm University and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Her expertise is in the health and social implication of shared parenting arrangements on children after their parents are divorced. She has also studied the effects of stress during pregnancy.

Education

[edit]

Fransson studied psychology at Stockholm University, Sweden, graduating in 2004. In 2012, she obtained her Ph.D. in medical sciences from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.[1]

Scientific research

[edit]

Fransson was a co-lead investigator on the Elvis project at the Center for Health Equity Studies, jointly run by Stockholm University and the Karolinska Institute between 2011 - 2021. In this project, children were followed after their parents had divorced or separated, with various physical and mental health outcomes measured, as well as social and behavioral metrics. In this project, Fransson showed that the well-being of children is higher under shared parenting versus sole custody.[2]

Fransson was also a co-lead investigator for the BASIC (Biology, Affect, Stress, Imaging, and Cognition) study conducted at Uppsala University between 2009 - 2018 [3] and is currently involved with the Mom2B study, also at Uppsala University.

Media attention

[edit]

Her research on shared parenting has been cited by The Guardian, when she found the same level of psychological complaints in children in shared residency as in those in nuclear families, while children living with one parent had higher levels of psychological complaints.[4] Her research has also been covered by Diritto & Diritti in Italy,[5] ABC Nyheter in Norway,[6] Extra Bladet in Denmark,[7] Wiener Zeitung in Austria,[8] Svenska Dagbladet in Sweden,[9] and Observador in Portugal.[10]
