Summary
Many tools to assess mental health were developed based on behaviours and feelings in white western populations. 18% of the UK population belong to Black, Asian, mixed, or other ethnic groups, and more than 80% of people who have mental health disorders live in a low- or middle-income country. Therefore, it is important to assess whether the ways we measure mental health work equally well across different ethnic groups within the UK, and across different global contexts. We will assess this, using existing data from mental health assessments, and talking to young people and mental health professionals about their experiences.
