Overview

Ted Reichborn-Kjennerud is affiliated with the University of Oslo in Norway and has extensively contributed to research within medicine, particularly focusing on clinical psychology, psychiatry and mental health, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health. Their work intersects with genetics and public health, environmental and occupational health.

The scientist's research covers diverse topics including birth, development, and health; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); maternal mental health during pregnancy and postpartum; health, environment, and cognitive aging; eating disorders and behaviors; child and adolescent psychosocial and emotional development; and genetic associations and epidemiology.

Frequent publication venues for their work include UNC Libraries, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), European Neuropsychopharmacology, Environment International, and Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica.

Among their recent papers are:

  • Genome-wide analyses of ADHD identify 27 risk loci, refine the genetic architecture and implicate several cognitive domains, 2023, Nature Genetics
  • Cohort Profile: COVIDMENT: COVID-19 cohorts on mental health across six nations, 2021, International Journal of Epidemiology
  • Metal and essential element concentrations during pregnancy and associations with autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, 2021, Environment International

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in psychology opens the door to a variety of dynamic career paths, both on-campus and online. Many students are now opting for accredited online programs, which provide flexible scheduling and accessible coursework while maintaining high educational standards. Specializations such as counseling, clinical psychology, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) are especially popular among online learners due to strong job demand.

One sought-after pathway is becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The requirements to become a BCBA can vary by location, so it’s important to research local regulations. You can explore the Chula Vista bcba requirements to understand California-specific guidelines, or see how to meet the qualifications in other regions, such as learning how to become a bcba in Cincinnati or the process for how to become a bcba in Cleveland. If you plan to practice in Colorado, review the Colorado Springs bcba requirements to ensure you are on the right track.

Exploring these options and requirements helps students make informed decisions about their future, preparing them for rewarding roles in mental health, education, and beyond.
