In Team Hollander we focus on mental health and psychiatric care utilisation in minority groups. The gaps in understanding the relation between migration and mental health remain a challenge as the effect of migration on mental health is complex, arising from multiple determinants. The underutilisation of evidence based psychiatric care among minorities as compared with the majority population in high income countries is a stark health inequity.
Psychiatry Sweden (PS) contain data of the total population of Sweden. It is a register created by linkage of several national and local registers in Sweden, via the unique personal identification number and consists of approximately 15 million individuals. Our ethical approval covers occurrence, causes and consequences of mental illness, and PS can only be used for that purpose, within this research group. PI Christina Dalman.
