Using theory of change to better address social and economic needs in mental health services
Towards a new model of population mental health research and policy translation in the UK
A Rapid Appraisal of How Alcohol Is Screened and Treated Amongst Minoritised Ethnic Service Users Within Community Mental Health Settings
Covid-19, economic downturn, and long-term trajectories of population mental health
Background We examined long-term trajectories of mental (ill-)health in two British generations (‘Baby boomers’ and ‘Generation X’) across the life-course, including the COVID-19 lockdowns and the following cost-of-living increases. We analysed inequalities by generation, gender, socioeconomic position (SEP), and their intersections, and explored the relationship between inflation and mental (ill-)health post-lockdown. Methods and Findings We use…
‘ It Is Like a Cross‐Stitch … All Joined Together But Not Making a Very Nice Pattern’
BACKGROUND: People with severe mental illness (SMI) have worse physical health than the general population and face a range of challenges with their healthcare. This study aimed to explore the interplay of issues across system, service, social and individual levels that impact healthcare experiences and outcomes from the perspective of people with comorbid SMI and physical health needs. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted. Fifteen individu…
Can social adversity and mental, physical and oral multimorbidity form a syndemic? A concept and protocol paper
the syndemic conceptualisation provides a valuable framework to understand health and illness, and hence to better design and deliver effective and cost-effective preventative and curative integrated (syndemic) care to improve patient and population health. Such syndemic care aims to address the social determinants of health, whilst simultaneously managing all interlocked conditions
Living less safely through the pandemic in England for people with serious mental and physical health conditions
These poor experiences create systemic and enduring healthcare harms for racialised groups with SMIs that need to be addressed. Our findings suggest a need to address these, not only in mental health providers, but across the whole health and care system and a need to ensure more equitable healthcare partnerships with service users, carers, and communities from racialised backgrounds who are often excluded
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 …
A comparison of single and intersectional social identities associated with discrimination and mental health service use
Inequities in mental health service use (MHSU) and treatment are influenced by social stratification processes linked to socially contextualised interactions between individuals, organisations and institutions. These complex relations underpin observed inequities and their experience by people at the intersections of social statuses. Discrimination is one important mechanism influencing such differences. We compared inequities in MHSU/treatment t…
The Association Between Childhood Seizures and Later Childhood Emotional and Behavioral Problems
OBJECTIVES: Emotional/behavioral disorders are often comorbid with childhood epilepsy, but both may be predicted by social disadvantage and fetal risk indicators (FRIs). We used data from a British birth cohort, to assess the association of epilepsy, single unprovoked seizures, and febrile seizures with the later development of emotional/behavioral problems. METHODS: A total of 17,416 children in the 1958 British birth cohort were followed up unt…
Ethnic density, health care seeking behaviour and expected discrimination from health services among ethnic minority people in England
Migration, social mobility and common mental disorders
OBJECTIVE: Changes in socio-economic position in people who migrate may have adverse associations with mental health. The main objective of this review was to assess the association of social mobility with common mental disorders in migrant and second-generation groups, to inform future research. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis of English-language studies assessing the association of social mobility in migrant or second-generation gro…
Born into adversity; The intergenerational transmission of psychological morbidity in second generation Irish children living in Britain
Objective Despite relative improvements in socioeconomic position across generations, Irish people living in Britain continue to suffer from excess psychological morbidity. This study will aim to elucidate factors relating to the intergenerational transmission of psychological morbidity. Method Data from two birth cohorts; the 1958 National Child Development Survey (NCDS) and the 1970 British Birth Cohort (BCS70) were used. Both surveyed 17,000 b…
Understanding the effect of ethnic density on mental health
OBJECTIVES: To determine if living in areas where higher proportions of people of the same ethnicity reside is protective for common mental disorders, and associated with a reduced exposure to discrimination and improved social support. Finally, to determine if any protective ethnic density effects are mediated by reduced exposure to racism and improved social support. DESIGN: Multi-level logistic regression analysis of national survey data, with…
Diabetes, Common Mental Disorders, and Disability
Objectives: To determine a) the associations between diabetes and common mental disorders in a nationally representative sample and the effect of key covariates on such associations and b) the association of comorbid common mental disorders on the quality of life and diabetes self-care indicators. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, people with diabetes were identified from a sample of 8580 individuals aged 16 to 74 years, drawn from the 2000 U…
