Prevalence of common mental disorders and treatment receipt for people from ethnic minority backgrounds in England: repeated cross-sectional surveys of the general population in 2007 and 2014

Gargie Ahmad et al.

Summary: The study found that all ethnic minority groups in England had lower treatment receipt for mental health problems compared to the White British group, with inequalities appearing to be widening over time for the Black group in particular. Addressing socioeconomic inequality could potentially reduce these ethnic inequalities, but it does not fully explain the pronounced treatment disparities.

That was a tip from my physician-Gender-specific pathways of patients and relatives to outpatient psychosocial cancer counselling centres-A qualitative study

Fabian Billaudelle et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify pathways patients and their relatives take to outpatient psychosocial cancer counselling centres, with a special focus on easing access for men. The results show that important pathways for both men and women include information about the service, easy access, and recommendations from others. For men in particular, positive recommendations from their treating physician and others they trust, organization by others, internet, talking to a male counsellor, routine referrals from hospitals, and emphasis on information sharing are important pathways. In contrast, women more often discover and access counselling centres through information material.

Susanne Singer et al.

Summary: The study found that the optimal time for cancer counseling was most often defined by participants according to the treatment trajectory, with the most frequently mentioned preferred time being 'as early as possible' - at the time of cancer diagnosis. Men expressed a desire for psychosocial counseling while waiting for test results, returning to work, or under the threat of unemployment, while women especially preferred support during therapy and when they have the capacity for it.

N. Riccetti et al.

Summary: The umbrella review aims to summarize research on information and other needs among migrant and ethnic minority cancer patients and survivors, highlighting the high demands for cancer-specific information during diagnosis and therapy, and the lack of sufficient support regarding family, spirituality, and body image/sexuality. Language and cultural barriers were identified as major hindrances towards meeting these needs.

Summary: The study assessed the handling of psychological burden and support needs for psycho-oncological services among cancer patients and their relatives from the Near and Middle East.

Summary: Equal access to health care is a key policy priority in many European societies, but there are wide differences in the use of health services between people of migrant origin and the general population.

Placing precarity: access and belonging in the shifting landscape of UK mental health care

Natassia F. Brenman

Summary: This paper explores the concept of 'embodied belonging' through an ethnographic study of mental health care in the UK, focusing on the social and material aspects of access. It reveals how material contexts of access and inclusion can paradoxically lead to the ongoing production of precarity- unstable, uncertain, and vulnerable ways of being - within a voluntary sector organization in London.
