Abstract
Research shows that there are longstanding inequalities within the access to and experiences of National Health Service (NHS) mental healthcare for Black populations. There have been a few interventions aimed at addressing racial inequalities, however, they have mostly been developed by professionals and have not had service user involvement. Within health and social care domains, co-production is becoming increasingly popular in engaging service users from minority groups to participate in improving service provision and interventions aimed at addressing inequalities. However, there has been limited evaluation of co-production, in terms of service users' perspectives and experiences. In parallel, studies have been evaluating the contribution and impact of co-production to mental health services, professionals, service users and wider society. Therefore, this thesis 1) outlines the contribution and impact of co-production on improving healthcare inequalities for Black populations, and 2) used qualitative methodology to explore Black service users' perspectives and experiences of co-production projects aimed at addressing racial inequalities in the care of Black people with psychosis.
