Racially minoritised black women’s experiences of depression and barriers and facilitators to utilising healthcare services in high-income countries
A Rapid Appraisal of How Alcohol Is Screened and Treated Amongst Minoritised Ethnic Service Users Within Community Mental Health Settings
Amplifying the voices of Black racial minorities in mental health research through public involvement and engagement
INTRODUCTION: Ensuring adequate representation and the active, meaningful and visible involvement of groups likely to be most impacted by research findings and/or the lack of research inquiry are increasingly acknowledged. This is particularly relevant for Black racially minoritised groups who are less visible as research participants and in patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) roles. Our viewpoint article sought to discuss reflec…
Pragmatic, feasibility randomized controlled trial of a recorded mental health recovery narrative intervention
The NEON Intervention is feasible and acceptable. Significant refinement of the NEON Intervention and trial processes is required to personalize and ensure applicability to carers. Further feasibility testing is recommended prior to a definitive trial
Exploring experiences with alcohol and how drinking has changed over time among minority ethnic groups with a diagnosed mental health problem
There were specific reasons to cope among minority ethnic individuals who have a mental health problem. Applying an intersectional lens provided an insight into the role of cultural and gendered expectations on mental health and drinking practices. Mental health literacy and implicit cultural expectations within specific minority ethnic groups can affect both mental health and drinking practices. Healthcare professionals and wider community play …
Informal carers in severe mental health conditions
Carer subjective burden after first-episode psychosis
Background: Carer burden at first-episode psychosis is common and adds to the multiple other psychiatric and psychological problems that beset new carers; yet, knowledge of the factors that predict carer burden is limited. Aim: This study sought to investigate the types and predictors of carer burden at first-episode psychosis in the largest, most ethnically diverse and comprehensively characterised sample to date. Method: This study involved a c…
Race, ethnicity and Covid-19 vaccination
Drawing on a critical race perspective, we conclude that acknowledging historical and contemporary abuses of power is essential to avoid perpetuating and aggravating mistrust by de-contextualising hesitancy from the social processes affecting hesitancy, undermining efforts to increase vaccine uptake
An ethnic-group comparison of caregiver beliefs about early psychotic illness in a UK sample
This study aimed to investigate potential ethnic differences in cognitive responses to caregiving in psychosis that might be relevant to the delivery of caregiver interventions for difficulties related to psychosis. We compared cross-sectional outcomes across early-stage caregivers who self-identified as white British ( n = 37) and those who self-identified as black African or Caribbean ( n = 41) using United Kingdom (UK) census ethnicity criteri…
Physical health problems in people with psychosis
BACKGROUND: Reduced life expectancies are recorded in adults with psychotic disorders. Informal carers play key roles in improving illness outcomes for patients, including significantly reducing rates of relapse and hospitalisation. There is, however, a dearth of literature detailing carers' perspectives on physical health problems in the relatives they care for and implications for those in the caregiving role. The study sought to explore carers…

Delivering Cognitive‐Behavioural Family Interventions for Schizophrenia
BackgroundIn 1993, Kavanagh and colleagues outlined outcomes from a training programme designed to equip mental health practitioners to deliver evidence‐based cognitive‐behavioural family interventions within routine care. The authors highlighted how the training had not been able to deliver notable increases in the numbers of families being seen by the trained clinicians. There were significant issues in the translation and provision of family i…
Stressors and common mental disorder in informal carers - An analysis of the English Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2007
This study investigates potential explanations of the association between caring and common mental disorder, using the English Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2007. We examined whether carers are more exposed to other stressors additional to caring--such as domestic violence and debt--and if so whether this explains their elevated rates of mental disorder. We analysed differences between carers and non-carers in common mental disorders (CMD), …
