Exploring perspectives on how to improve psychological treatment for women from minoritised ethnic communities: A qualitative study with service users.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women are disproportionately impacted by depression and anxiety disorders and in particular, women from minoritised ethnic communities experience inequalities in access to outcomes of psychological treatment for these disorders. Better understanding from the views of service users about the factors that impact their access to, and experiences of care could help to optimise treatment for these groups.

Method

This study explored experiences of treatment and gathered suggestions about treatment improvement, from the perspectives of women currently using psychological therapy services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 female NHS Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression (NHSTTad) service users from minoritised ethnic communities. Data were analysed
