I 2026 er jeg fortsatt affiliert ved ADHD forskningsgruppen ledet av professor Jan Haavik ved Institutt for Biomedisin der jeg jobber med ferdigstilling av revisjon av innsendt manus, biveileder av forskerlinjestudenter og bidrag inn i ADHD hos voksne i Norge-prosjektet som planlegger en bølge 4.

Jeg jobber 80% klinisk som overlege ved Betanien BUP, Betanien Sykehus, Fyllingsdalen.

I 2025 hadde jeg en 20% stilling affiliert ved ADHD forskningsgruppen ledet av professor Jan Haavik ved Institutt for Biomedisin der jeg jobbet med et prosjekt startet under EU-prosjektet E2BN: Amming og effekt på ADHD symptomer hos barnet - MOBA data inkl genetiske data. Publikasjon er submitted og under revisjon. 

Fra 2023/2024 var jeg ansatt ved Institutt for Biomedisin i 40% stilling som gjesteforsker dekket av midler fra NEVSOM for prosjektet mitt "ADHD gender and genes - Sammenligning av genetisk risiko og selvrapporterte ADHD-symptomer hos kvinner og menn i en befolkningsstudie” der jeg bruker data fra MoBa - den norske mor, far og barn studien. Publisert artikkel fra dette arbeidet I JCPP Advances mars 2025.

i 2023/24 jobbet jeg også i 60%-stilling som overlege ved Betanien BUP og kan også kontaktes på email berit.skretting.solberg@betaniensykehus.no

Jeg disputerte 7. februar 2020 for ph.d.-graden ved Universitetet i Bergen med avhandlingen;

“Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; sex differences in psychiatric comorbidity and transgenerational recurrence risks. A population-based study using Norwegian registry data”.

In 2026, I remain affiliated with the ADHD research group led by Professor Jan Haavik at the Department of Biomedicine, where I am working on finalizing revisions of a submitted manuscript, co-supervising Research Track (Forskerlinjen) students, and contributing to the ADHD in Adults in Norway project, which is planning a fourth data collection wave.

I work clinically at 80% as a consultant psychiatrist at Betanien BUP, Betanien Hospital, Fyllingsdalen.

In 2025, I held a 20% affiliated position with the ADHD research group led by Professor Jan Haavik at the Department of Biomedicine. During this period, I worked on a project initiated under the EU-funded E2BN project: Breastfeeding and its effect on ADHD symptoms in children, using MoBa data including genetic information. The manuscript has been submitted and is currently under revision.

During 2023–2024, I was employed at the Department of Biomedicine in a 40% position as a guest researcher, funded by NEVSOM, for my project “ADHD gender and genes – Comparison of genetic risk and self-reported ADHD symptoms in women and men in a population-based study”, using data from MoBa (the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study). An article from this work was published in JCPP Advances in March 2025.

In 2023–2024, I also worked in a 60% position as a consultant psychiatrist at Betanien BUP and can be contacted by email at berit.skretting.solberg@betaniensykehus.no.

I defended my PhD on 7 February 2020 at the University of Bergen. The title of my dissertation was:

“Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; sex differences in psychiatric comorbidity and transgenerational recurrence risks. A population-based study using Norwegian registry data.”
