Access to a child mental health service
Keyword(s):
Aims and MethodThis was a retrospective case note analysis of all referrals to an inner-London child and family consultation service aiming to examine any changes in patterns of referral and attendance of Bangladeshi and indigenous families over the previous 10-year period.ResultsBangladeshi referrals increased over the period but remained under-represented compared to indigenous families. They were less likely to attend an initial appointment, but once engaged with the service dropout rates were unaffected by ethnicity.Clinical ImplicationsImproved communication between the department, families and referrers may help to increase understanding of the function of the department and lead to more equitable uptake of services in the future.
