Migrant Density May Reduce Risk For Psychotic Disorders Among Migrants And Their Children, Research Suggests

Healio (3/10, Gramigna) reports, “Migrant density may reduce risk for psychotic disorders among migrants and their children,” investigators concluded after collecting “Swedish register data of migrants and their children born between 1982 and 1996,” then tracking “participants from age 15 years or date of migration until study end, death or emigration and used an ICD-10 diagnosis of nonaffective psychosis as the outcome.” The findings of the 468,223-individual, “national, longitudinal cohort study” were published online March 5 in The Lancet Psychiatry.
