Found this in my weekly check of BMJ. Interesting. Schizophrenia in ethnic minorities is more common in white neighbourhoods
"The incidence of schizophrenia among non-white people increases significantly as the proportion of non-white ethnic minorities in a particular area falls. Boydell et al (pB 1336) found that as the proportion of non-white ethnic minorities in electoral wards in London fell, the incidence of schizophrenia in these groups rose. These results were not explained by deprivation. Increased exposure to or decreased protection from overt discrimination, institutional racism, inequality, or isolation are possible explanations."
