RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Culturally competent early mental health interventions for ethnic minorities (EMs) with no formal diagnoses are needed. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether 8-12 weeks culturally adapted counselling (CAC) is better than waiting (waitlist (WL) group) to reduce depressive and anxiety symptoms and stress levels among EMs with elevated mental distress. METHODS: Hong Kong EMs with mild and above-mild mental distress were randomly assigned to CAC or WL in this pragmatic, randomised, WL-controlled trial. The CAC group received the intervention after randomisation and the WL group received the intervention after 8-12 weeks (T1). The prespecified primary outcomes were depressive and anxiety symptoms and stress levels measured by the Depression, Anxiety and Stress subscales of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-D, DASS-A and DASS-S, respectively) at postintervention (T1, 8-12 weeks). FINDINGS: A total of 120 participants were randomly assigned to either CAC (n=60) or WL (n=60), of whom 110 provided primary outcome data. At T1, CAC led to significantly lower depressive and anxiety symptom severity and stress levels compared with waiting, with unstandardised regression coefficients of -8.91 DASS-D points (95% CI -12.57 to -5.25; d=-0.90),-6.33 DASS-A points (95% CI -9.81 to -2.86; d=-0.68) and -8.60 DASS-S points (95% CI -12.14 to -5.06; d=-0.90). CONCLUSIONS: CAC clinically outperformed WL for mild and above-mild levels of mental distress in EMs. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Making CAC routinely available for EMs in community settings can reduce healthcare burden.

RESUMO

Ethnic minorities account for 8% of the Hong Kong population, most are Filipino and Indonesian domestic helpers taking care of children and the elderly. To understand the COVID-19 vaccination rates and factors associated with vaccine acceptance of ethnic minorities, we performed a cross-sectional questionnaire study recruiting Hong Kong ethnic minorities aged ≥18 years between 1 July and 18 July 2021 in public areas. Demographics, knowledge about COVID-19, vaccination status, intention and reasons to receive the vaccine, and planning to be re-vaccinated were analyzed. Continuous and categorical variables were compared using unpaired t-test and Chi-square test, respectively. Potential confounders were adjusted using multiple logistic regression. 2,012 ethnic minorities participated, with a mean age of 39 years, of which 97.6% were female, 79.5% were Filipino, and 17.5% were Indonesian. 80.6% of participants were categorized as vaccine acceptance, and 69.2% were willing to be re-vaccinated. There were significantly more Filipinos than Indonesians in the vaccine acceptance group (p < .001). Subjects in the vaccine acceptance group were more likely to have higher education (p < .001), a higher COVID-19 knowledge score (p < .001), received information from the Government website (p = .003) and not from their friends or family members (p = .02), and were more confident in judging the accuracy of the information (p < .001). Logistic regression showed the mean knowledge score (ß = 3.07, p < .001) and receiving information from official Government websites (adjusted OR = 1.37, p = .03) were significant factors that positively influenced vaccine acceptance. The Hong Kong Government should improve COVID-19 vaccination acceptance among ethnic minorities through public education using official channels.
