Evolution of first episode psychosis diagnoses and health service use among young Māori and non‐Māori—A New Zealand national cohort study

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONThe validity of diagnostic classification in first episode psychosis (FEP) is of paramount importance to ensure optimized early intervention. This is especially the case for ethnic minority and Indigenous groups, who are subject to disproportionately high rates of psychotic disorders (Gynther et al., 2019; Halvorsrud et al., 2019), as well as structural and individual biases that impact outcomes (Nazroo et al., 2020). Initial diagnosis of a psychotic disorder has broad consumer implications, both in terms of disorder trajectory and service provision. This is particularly relevant for non‐specific time limited diagnoses that do not necessarily fall under the remit of treatment guidelines for FEP (Fusar‐Poli et al., 2022).
