"In a study on neighbourhood ethnic density, researchers report that immigrants who live in neighbourhoods where their own ethnic group comprise a small proportion of the population are at increased risk for certain psychotic disorders. The study underscores the necessity for public health clinicians to pay attention to the mental health needs of immigrants, and highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity when treating immigrant and minority patients."
