Different rates of first admissions for psychosis in migrant groups in Paris.
The association between migration and psychosis has been reported in the past decades in many European countries. Despite large-scale migration into France, epidemiological data on the incidence of psychosis in this population are lacking. In this study, we compare the incidence rates of first admission for psychosis among natives and first generation migrants. ⋯ Our findings suggest that Sub-Saharan migrants were identified as the most vulnerable migrant group for developing psychosis in France, but additional work is warranted to confirm these trends.
