Ethnic Variations in Health and Social Service Use and Mental Health Outcomes of Unpaid Family Caregivers in Wales
My research interests lie in the intersection of ethnicity, health service utilisation, and mental health outcomes among unpaid family caregivers in Wales. Specifically, I aim to investigate how ethnic background shapes access to and use of health and social services, as well as the subsequent psychological impact on caregivers. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of service utilisation patterns with qualitative insights into culturally specific barriers, this research seeks to address gaps in current understanding. The findings aim to inform policy and practice, fostering equitable, culturally sensitive support systems that better meet the needs of diverse caregiving populations.
