Background In the UK, postnatal depression is more common in British South Asian women than White Caucasion women. Cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) is recommended as a first-line treatment, but there is little evidence for the adaptation of CBT for postnatal depression to ensure its applicability to different ethnic groups. Aims To evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a CBT-based positive health programme group intervention in British South Asian women with postnatal depression. Method We have designed a multicentre, two-arm, partially nested, randomised controlled trial with 4- and 12-month follow-up, comparing a 12-session group CBT-based intervention (positive health programme) plus treatment as usual with treatment as usual alone, for British South Asian women with postnatal depression. Participants will be recruited from primary care and appropriate community venues in areas of high South Asian density across the UK. It has been estimated that randomising 720 participants (360 into each group) will be sufficient to detect a clinically important difference between a 55% recovery rate in the intervention group and a 40% recovery rate in the treatment-as-usual group. An economic analysis will estimate the cost-effectiveness of the positive health programme. A qualitative process evaluation will explore barriers and enablers to study participation and examine the acceptability and impact of the programme from the perspective of British South Asian women and other key stakeholders.

Self Harm

IntroductionIt has been estimated that the global burden of suicide is a million deaths per year (WHO, 2014). Rates of self-harm in British South Asian (BSA) women are higher compared to their white counterparts. Limited evidence is available on effective preventative strategies and culturally sensitive interventions for these patients.ObjectiveTo understand common perceptions about self-harm, identify any barriers to accessing services and service improvement recommendations including appropriate interventions for BSA women.AimTo examine the views of health professionals on the culturally adapted problem solving therapy (C-MAP) in BSA women.MethodsThe design was a qualitative study using focus group discussion. This is part of a larger exploratory trial, to test a culturally adapted problem solving therapy (C-MAP) in British South Asian women who have a history of self-harm (Husain et al., 2011). Three focus groups were held with Asian lay members of the community, health professionals and service users. The data was analysed using a manual content analysis and indexing technique.ResultsResults showed lack of identification of self-harm by health professionals. Common self-harm methods reported were serious overdoses, use of household chemicals, burning and cutting. Lack of trust in GP s was one common reason for non-disclosure of self-harm behaviour. Need for increased awareness, working along with local Imams, better cultural sensitivity among health professionals and non-judgmental support were some solutions offered to address these barriers.ConclusionThe results of this study have provided insight into developing strategies to prevent and manage self-harm in British South Asian women.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
