Culturally adaptive healthcare for people with a learning disability from an ethnic minority background: A qualitative synthesis

People with a learning disability from ethnic minority backgrounds experience problems using healthcare services and poorer health. This review compared findings from 28 UK studies which explored the healthcare experiences of people with a learning disability from ethnic minority backgrounds, and their carers. Patients and carers had different preferences in how they wanted to be involved in their healthcare, which were often unmet by healthcare services. Services should be responsive to the needs of individuals from different ethnic minority backgrounds with a learning disability, and their carers.
