We set out to test whether this ethnic density effect reflects minority status in general, by looking at three situations where individual characteristics differ from what is usual in a locality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291716001835_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Using data from the South East London Community Health study (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1698) we investigated associations between minority status (defined by: ethnicity, household status and occupational social class) and risk of psychotic experiences, common mental disorders and parasuicide.
