South Asian Mental health service Engagement (SAME) Study

What is the SAME Study?

The South Asian Mental health service Engagement (SAME) Study aims to find out more about how South Asian people engage with local mental health services. The primary objective of the study is to explore the barriers and facilitators to remaining engaged with mental health services. Participants will be adults (aged over 18 years) who are of South Asian origin and have experience with accessing local mental health services.  

We hope that by learning more about these experiences, we will understand what services are already doing well and what can be improved for South Asian people. This knowledge may help to develop new ways in which we can adapt existing services which are delivered to South Asians so they are easier to use and more likely to improve their mental health.

How will we do it?
