Mother's country of birth and prescription of psychotropic medication in Swedish adolescents: a life course approach.
(2012) In BMJ Open 2(5). p.001260-001260- Abstract
- Besides medical needs, psychotropic medication use in adolescence might be conditioned by the cultural context of the family. This knowledge is relevant for both detecting inequities in healthcare, and identifying information bias in epidemiological studies using psychotropic medication as a proxy for impaired psychological health. Therefore, we investigated whether, independent of needs, the socioeconomic characteristics of the mother's country of birth are associated with psychotropic medication use in Swedish-born adolescents.
