Experiences of physical health problems in severe mental illness and accessing care-a qualitative study | C4C

We know very little about the specific challenges around physical health experienced by people who identify as being of an ethnic minority background alongside living with a severe mental illness. This qualitative study will conduct focus groups and interviews with individuals of different ethnic backgrounds who have experience of living with a severe mental illness to understand the specific barriers to accessing physical health care. Please note that the primary investigator for the study is also using CRIS data for a linked study: 13031 Do Black and Minority Ethnic Service Users Experience Inequalities in Service Use and Health Outcomes?
