Unlikely to find a useful generic tool that covers all ethnic minorities in
the area of mental health- because of heterogeneity of groups, experience etc
Mostly translated versions of existing instruments. Need to ensure any
instrument is culturally relevent and sensitive. Development of instruments
from scratch are time-consuming- but may be what you need to do. There may
be some literature from local service evaluations. The following is a start:
Parkham, S et al. Ethnic differences in satisfaction with mental health
services among representative people with psychosis in South London:
PRISM4. B J of Psychiatry 1997: 171: 260-264
MIND also have done a lot of work with ethnic minority groups
