Minority groups

The needs of minority groups need to be considered when delivering health care and identifying need. Understanding these differences enables healthcare and health promotion messages to be targeted in appropriate ways.

Data and reports

Recent work on minority groups includes a Community Offenders Health Needs Assessment (PDF, 1.6 MB) and a young offenders summary data update (PDF, 2.1 MB).

We have also produced a literature review on drug reducing interventions for prison leavers.
