Ability to detect depression in ethnic minority groups: a UK Biobank cohort study.
Ronaldson A. BMJ Mental Health 2026;29(1):1-8.
[Evidence on ethnic differences in depression in the UK is mixed, and the suitability of current screening tools is under question. Lower rates of depression identification among ethnic minority groups may reflect limitations in how depression is defined, perceived and detected within these populations. Depression may present more somatically in some ethnic minority groups. Clinicians may need to adopt more culturally informed assessment approaches to ensure accurate detection and support.]
