“…Living in areas of high ethnic density is also expected to lower exposure to ERH due to lesser likelihood of contact with majority group members (Halpern and Nazroo 1999;Becares, Nazroo, and Stafford 2009;Dustmann, Fabbri, and Preston 2011), and to "buffer" its impact on health when it does occur (Becares, Nazroo, and Stafford 2009;Karlsen and Nazroo 2002;Pickett and Wilkinson 2008). There is also evidence of considerable heterogeneity in the ethnic density effect, both by the characteristics of the neighbourhoods themselves (Becares et al 2012) and between the UK and foreign born (Dorsett, Rienzo, and Weale 2019;Schofield et al 2017).…”

“…A final contribution of this paper is to differentiate between foreign born (first generation) and UK born ethnic minorities (second+ generation) when examining the relationship between ERH, mental health and ethnic attachment (Dorsett, Rienzo, and Weale 2019;Nandi, Luthra, and Benzeval 2016). We expect higher reports of ERH and a more detrimental mental health impact of ERH for the latter group for a number of reasons.…”

Using data from Understanding Society, this paper provides a comprehensive account of the associations between ethnic and racial harassment (ERH), mental health and ethnic attachment for ethnic minorities living in England. We find an association between ERH and poor mental health measured using GHQ for ethnic minorities, even after controlling for a rich array of individual and area level characteristics. We find that ethnic attachment, measured as ethnic identity and co-ethnic friendship ties, moderates this association but solely for UK born ethnic minorities. In contrast to previous research, we further find that living in areas of high co-ethnic concentration appears to exacerbate the association between ERH and mental ill-health.

“…The healthy migrant effect and the further loss of this effect after one generation have been suggested as a potential explanation . Evidence also suggests that being able to maintain cultural links or live in areas with higher proportion of people from the same ethnic group may outweigh other hurdles and contribute to better well‐being in general or pregnancy outcomes in particular in ethnic minority groups . Unfortunately, we were unable to further explore these factors because of a lack of relevant data in our dataset.…”

BackgroundData recorded at birth and death registration in England and Wales have been routinely linked with data recorded at birth notification since 2006. These provide scope for detailed analyses on ethnic differences in preterm birth (PTB).ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate ethnic differences in PTB and degree of prematurity in England and Wales, taking into account maternal sociodemographic characteristics and to further explore the contribution of mother's country of birth to these ethnic differences in PTB.MethodsWe analysed PTB and degree of prematurity by ethnic group, using routinely collected and linked data for all singleton live births in England and Wales, 2006‐2012. Logistic regression was used to adjust for mother's age, marital status/registration type, area deprivation and mother's country of birth.ResultsIn the 4 634 932 births analysed, all minority ethnic groups except ‘Other White’ had significantly higher odds of PTB compared with White British babies (ORs between 1.04‐1.25); highest odds were in Black Caribbean, Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani groups. Ethnic differences in PTB tended to be greater at earlier gestational ages. In all ethnic groups, odds of PTB were lower for babies whose mothers were born outside the UK.ConclusionsIn England and Wales, Black Caribbean, Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Black African babies all have significantly increased odds of being born preterm compared with White British babies. Bangladeshis apart, these groups are particularly at risk of extremely PTB. In all ethnic groups, the odds of PTB are lower for babies whose mothers were born outside the UK. These ethnic differences do not appear to be wholly explained by area deprivation or other sociodemographic characteristics.

“…Additionally, mental health status differs according to ethnicity [37]. Dutch studies have identified ethnic origin as an individual predictive factor for common mental disorders, showing an increased risk of affective disorders among Moroccan and Turkish immigrants [38], and higher odds of anxiety, depression and PTSD for Iranian immigrants compared with those from Somalia and Afghanistan [39].…”

Purpose Previous research indicates increased risk of various mental disorders in immigrant populations, particularly for schizophrenia and PTSD. However, findings are inconclusive due to variations in contextual factors, characteristics of immigrant groups and study design. Our study aims to investigate prevalence differences of receiving an ICD-10 psychiatric diagnosis between 2008 and 2016 among four first-generation immigrant groups and one second-generation immigrant group compared to ethnic Norwegians. Methods Linked register data from the Norwegian Patient Registry and Statistics Norway were utilised. The sample (age 18–35) comprises 758,774 ethnic Norwegians, 61,124 immigrants originating from Poland, Somalia, Iran and Pakistan and 4630 s-generation Pakistani immigrants. Age- and gender-adjusted binary logistic regression models were applied. Results The odds of schizophrenia were significantly elevated for all groups except for Poles. The highest odds were observed for second-generation Pakistani immigrants (adjusted OR 2.72, 95% CI 2.21–3.35). For PTSD, the odds were significantly increased for Somalis (aOR 1.31, 95% CI 1.11–1.54), second-generation Pakistani immigrants (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.11–1.70), and in particular for Iranians (aOR 3.99, 95% CI 3.51–4.54). While Iranians showed similar or higher odds of receiving the vast majority of psychiatric diagnoses, the remaining groups showed lower or similar odds compared to ethnic Norwegians. Conclusion Our findings suggest considerable prevalence differences in receiving a psychiatric diagnosis according to country of origin and generational status compared to ethnic Norwegian controls. The general pattern was lower prevalence of most ICD-10 mental disorders for the majority of immigrant groups compared to ethnic Norwegians, except for schizophrenia and PTSD.
