Hi Raj (and list members),
Thank you for continuing to send out new publications on the email list - they are always extremely interesting to me. I have also read a lot of your own work, which has been great inspiration.
I am currently writing up my PhD which has explored relationships between migrant Pakistani women and their midwives, in the South Wales area. This came about from reading maternal and perinatal mortality reports (CMACE/MBRACE) which suggested that minority ethnic women and their babies are at a much higher risk of mortality and morbidity (in the UK!). I had a paper published early this year in which I discuss some of these statistics, along with suggestions for a refocus on relationships, in order to reduce these inequalities.
I'm not sure if this is something which list members would be interested in, but if so then the link is below. Unfortunately it is currently not free access, however I would be happy to email a PDF copy to anyone who has an interest in reading it.

Subject: Latest publications from the Scottish Health and Ethnicity linkage study
Colleagues, the group has been a little quiet so I stop it might be interested in these latest publications. The Scottish Health and Ethnicity linkage study continues to produce a broad portrait of Scotland's health from and ethnicity perspective. The benefits of having this kind of work is that we are producing data on hitherto largely ignored areas. I hope you find these publications of some value.
