In addition, little knowledge is available on the effect of parenting support programmes delivered to immigrant parents.24 The few
studies available have mostly shown little or no improvement in the mental health of immigrant parents25 26 or even poorer outcomes for immigrant families27 and families with low socioeconomic status.28 Scarcity of
studies in this area may simply because few immigrant parents participate in such programmes.24 Several
studies have reported difficulties in recruiting and retaining immigrant parents in parenting support programmes.29 30 Factors such
as belonging to an
ethnic minority, low socioeconomic status, practical aspects or experienced alienation and discrimination all contribute to low participation.28 31 Other
studies have demonstrated that low participation and a high dropout rate of immigrant parents are associated with a lack of cultural sensitivity in the intervention, poor information about the parenting programme and lack of trust towards professionals.24 A qualitative
study conducted with Somali - born parents in Sweden showed that Somali parents experienced many societal challenges in the new country and in their parenting behaviours.

study showed a significantly higher incidence in symptoms of depression among BSA patients in Leicester and the local county compared with British White (BW) patients via the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS - D) ≥ 10 (BSA 20.7 %; BW 10.4 % p = 0.001).17 Depressive symptoms were associated with potentially maladaptive coping strategies among both
