Article Synopsis
  • Research shows that migrant status and ethnic minority background increase the risk of psychosis, but it's unclear if this also applies to subclinical psychosis.
  • In a study with 460 participants, first and second-generation migrants, as well as certain ethnic minorities, reported higher levels of negative psychotic traits compared to a reference population.
