The Chinese population is a fast-growing group in Bristol. Studies have reported higher rates of certain health issues among Chinese residents in the UK, including mental health problems and some infectious diseases. However, they tend to use health services less often and report worse experiences with GP services compared to other ethnic groups. We do not know why these differences exist. This study aims to interview up to 25 Chinese residents in Bristol to understand Chinese people’s views and experiences of accessing and using health services, with a focus on healthcare in relation to cancer screening and vaccinations, mental health and sexually transmitted infections, where there are known health inequities within the Chinese population. Individuals who take part will be given a £20 gift voucher. All information collected will be treated as confidential.

华人是布里斯托增长最快的群体之一。研究显示,英国华人居民在某些健康问题上的患病率较高,包括心理健康问题和一些传染病。然而,与其他族群相比,华人使用医疗服务的频率较低,对全科医生服务的体验也更差。我们目前尚不清楚这些差异存在的原因。本研究计划访谈最多25位居住在布里斯托的华人,了解他们在获取和使用医疗服务方面的看法与经历。研究将重点关注癌症筛查和疫苗接种、心理健康以及性传播感染等方面的医疗服务,华人群体在这些健康服务方面已面临不平等的情况。访谈参与者将获得一张£20的礼品卡。所有收集的信息都将被严格保密。
