A recent study conducted by researchers at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany aimed to compare health service use (HSU) between migrants and non-migrants in the country. The study utilized data from the German National Cohort and analyzed the HSU of different migrant groups compared to non-migrants. The findings revealed that certain migrant groups, particularly first-generation migrants from Eastern Europe, Turkey, and resettlers, had higher utilization of general practitioners and medical specialists but lower utilization of psychologists/psychiatrists. The study concluded that there are barriers to mental health service use among specific migrant groups in Germany that need to be addressed. [Extracted from the article] |
