1. Main facts and figures

in every ethnic group, over 60% of patients showed an improvement after treatment for anxiety or depression in 2018 to 2019
the highest percentage of patients showing an improvement was in the White British ethnic group at 68.1%
the lowest percentage of patients showing an improvement was in the Bangladeshi ethnic group at 60.8%
in most ethnic groups, women were more likely to have shown an improvement than men
between 2015/16 and 2018/19, the percentage of patients showing an improvement increased in every ethnic group
the biggest increase in patients showing an improvement was in the Pakistani ethnic group

Things you need to know

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) is mainly for adults. A small number of patients under 18 years old are also referred for treatment.

IAPT service providers submit data every month to NHS Digital. This includes information about patients' ethnicity.

This analysis only includes patients whose ethnicity was known. The percentage of patients whose ethnicity was known has gone up from around 80% in 2015 to 88% in 2019.

Data is shown for the whole of England. Download the data for local data broken down by clinical commissioning groups. Some local data has been suppressed if a small number of patients made it unreliable.

The definition for ‘no reliable change’ has been revised since the first version of this measure page. The new methodology separates out patient referrals which showed no reliable change from those where it wasn’t possible to assess change due to missing data. All data presented here is now based on the new methodology.

What the data measures

This data shows outcomes for patients who've had treatment for anxiety or depression. The data covers referrals through NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services.

The data is broken down by ethnicity, gender and time. Download the data to see figures showing the change over time for different ethnic groups by gender.

Patients are assessed after treatment and recorded as showing either:

improvement
no change
deterioration

Patients complete a questionnaire before, during and after their treatment. Their responses are used to assess the outcome of their treatment.

The percentage of referrals with an unknown outcome is not shown. For that reason, not all percentages for the 3 outcomes add up to 100%.

To be included in this data, a patient's referral must have ended in the financial year covered. For example, data for 2018 to 2019 includes referrals that ended between April 2018 and March 2019. The patient must have attended at least 2 appointments in the course of the referral.

The ethnic categories used in this data

The 16 ethnic categories used in this data are those listed in the 2001 Census. The categories are broadly the same as the ethnic groups used in the 2011 Census, except that:

the 2001 Census categorised Chinese people within ‘Other ethnic group’
the 2001 Census did not list Gypsy and Irish Travellers or Arab people

50. Methodology

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service providers submit data every month.

Every patient completes a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).

They also complete either:

a Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD7) questionnaire
an Anxiety Disorder Specific Measure (ADSM)

Patients complete the relevant ADSM during treatment if they have:

obsessive-compulsive disorder
generalised anxiety disorder
social phobia
health anxiety
agoraphobia
panic disorder
post-traumatic stress disorder

If they're not being treated for one of these conditions, they complete the GAD-7 questionnaire. They also use the GAD-7 to measure changes during treatment if they haven't completed at least 2 ADSMs.

The patient’s first and last scores are compared for both the PHQ-9 and the relevant anxiety questionnaire.

A patient has shown 'reliable improvement' if there is both:

a reliable decrease in one or both of the scores
no reliable increase in either of them

A reliable change is at least the following number of points:

PHQ-9: 6 points
GAD-7: 4 points
Agoraphobia Mobility Inventory: 0.73 points
Social Phobia Inventory: 10 points
Panic Disorder Severity Scale: no agreed threshold, so GAD-7 is used
Obsessive Compulsive Inventory: 32 points
Impact of Events Scale: 9 points
Health Anxiety Inventory (Short Week): 4 points

Suppression rules and disclosure control

Figures based on fewer than 5 patients are not shown here. This is to make sure individual patients can’t be identified.

Rounding

Totals for clinical commissioning groups are rounded to the nearest 5.

Percentages are based on unrounded numbers. They are rounded to:

1 decimal point in figures for the whole of England
whole numbers in figures for clinical commissioning groups
