Understanding the intersections between ethnicity, area-level deprivation, and inpatient-related features amongst patients with psychotic disorders: a mental health electronic records analysis
This study showed how psychiatric inpatient-related features for patients with non-affective psychotic disorders were explained not only by the separate effects of area-level deprivation and ethnicity but also by the unique intersections of these two factors. Our findings have implications for policy and interventions aimed at reducing the drivers of inpatient admissions by addressing social stressors in deprived areas and among ethnic minority patients.
