“Ethnic density of neighbourhood at age 15 modifies the risk for psychosis”. So what?

An interesting paper in this journal reports that the risk for teenagers from ethnic minority groups to develop non-affective psychotic disorder in adult life depends on the size of their group in their neighbourhood of residence (Schofield et al., 2017a). According to a second paper from the same group of authors, this effect is prominent in the second generation and weak or absent in the first generation (Schofield et al., 2017b).
