Differential use of psychiatric services by West Indians, West Africans and English in London

GG Rwegellera

Two hundred and ninety West Indian and 73 West African patients were identified and matched against 204 and 53 English patients respectively.

Studying consecutive attendances or admissions to one hospital may lead to an unrepresentative sample.
