Hi all,
Please see below information regarding next week’s online IPHS seminar.
Institute of Population Health Sciences (IPHS) Online Seminar
Wednesday 4th November 2020, 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Title: Differences in access and utilisation of mental health services in the perinatal period for women from ethnic minorities – a population-based study
Discussants: Jelena Jankovic, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
Summary: Barriers to accessing mental health care during pregnancy and the first postnatal year (perinatal period) seem to be greater for ethnic minority women; however, there is no reliable large-scale data about their actual use of mental health services during this period. Our study aims to explore access rates to secondary mental health services, including involuntary admissions to psychiatric inpatient care and patterns of engagement for ethnic minority women aged 18+ who gave birth in 2017 in England, UK. Two datasets from the National Commissioning Data Repository, the Acute Inpatient Dataset and Mental Health Services Dataset, were linked. Datasets covering the full perinatal period for each woman were included. Rates were standardised by age and deprivation.
All are welcome!
