Describes a survey of people from the Asian communities in 'Milltown' which includes people who used mental health services, family members of service users, and members of the Asian general public. Personal and social stresses of the group were explored as were their perceptions of the 'causes' of mental ill-health and appropriate responses. A range of issues identified by respondents surrounded the cultural acceptability of services. The findings of the survey are compared with similar studies, which focus on indigenous white British service users. Some findings are common; other issues are specific to this Asian group.
