Improving mental health support for people from ethnic minorities with co-occurring physical health conditions (PATH project) - Qualitative study
Depression and anxiety are common in people who live with long-term physical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or chronic pain. People from ethnic minority backgrounds often face additional barriers when trying to access mental health support through NHS Talking Therapies services and may experience poorer outcomes from treatment.
We want to understand what these barriers are from the perspective of primary care clinicians and work together to develop better pathways to care.
Who we are recruiting
GPs, Practice Nurses, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, or Physician Associates working with people from ethnic minority backgrounds who have long-term conditions.
What is involved
One off 45-minute interview about your professional experiences conducted in person, by phone, or video call. We’ll invite you to share your perspectives on supporting mental health in primary care and help us develop integrated pathways. View the flyer
