Description
Joseph Junior Muwonge and co-authors track mental healthcare use among migrants in Stockholm across sixteen years in a 2026 study. Migrants use less mental healthcare than Swedish-born adults, but need levels differ too. The team asked how much of the gap survives once need is counted.
Four surveys between 2006 and 2021 covered 81,650 adults and linked to care records. Migrants outside the Nordic region reported more distress yet used services less. The gap widened after adjusting for need and grew larger over time. By the last survey, migrant odds of care sat near half those of Swedish-born adults. Gaps ran wider in specialist care than in primary care.
