Racial Disparities in Electroconvulsive Therapy

These findings align with literature suggesting that ECT's efficacy is generally unaffected by race. Chinese participants were found to have higher post-ECT quality of life measure scores, which may reflect potential differences in the subjective experiences and perceived utility of ECT between races. The results provide valuable insights into ECT practices in a non-Western context and suggest that ECT is equally effective and safe across different racial groups in Singapore.
