Abstract Background Geographical variation in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnoses remains poorly understood. Previous research has found that the ADHD rates between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) is not attributable to symptom load catchment areas of CAMHS. This study aimed investigate if geographical ADHD-diagnosis per population patient, as well referral CAMHS, were associated with area characteristics. Methods We used data from Norwegian Patient...
Abstract Objective A variety of measures are used for reporting levels compulsory psychiatric hospitalisation. This complicates comparisons between studies and makes it hard to establish the extent geographic variation. We aimed investigate how based on events, individuals duration portray geographical variation differently perform over time, they correlate well predict future ranked Methods Small‐area analysis, correlation analysis linear regressions data from a Norwegian health registry...
Involuntary care and coercive measures are frequently present in mental healthcare for adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine what extent adolescents perceive or experience coercion during inpatient health care, predictors experienced coercion. A cross-sectional sample 96 adolescent inpatients from 10 Norwegian acute combined (acute sub-acute) psychiatric wards reported their on Coercion Ladder the Experienced Scale questionnaires. Staff use formal coercion, diagnoses,...

This expected reduce incidence and prevalence rates, duration of episodes care, in particular regarding community orders (CTOs).
Existing scales for experienced coercion have limitations. We developed and validated a short self-report form use across care settings, phases, measures. In Stage 1, we an item pool, based on the literature, patient accounts, interviews, expert feedback. Stages 2 3 consisted of cross-sectional studies, with patients from acute nonacute inpatient wards, outpatient care, supported housing. 2, (N = 212) responded to Coercion Ladder items 1. selected 20 performance in typically coercive versus...

The Norwegian Health Act assumes this will improve and reduce risk deterioration death. Professionals have warned against potentially adverse effects recent initiatives to heighten thresholds, but no studies investigated whether high thresholds effects. Aim To test the hypothesis that areas lower levels show higher morbidity mortality in their disorder...

To improve understanding processes, how positions may manifest interact, we analyzed texts published...
Background: Compulsory hospitalisation in mental healthcare is contested. For ethical and legal reasons, it should only be used as a last resort. Geographical variation could indicate that some areas employ compulsory more frequently than strictly necessary. Explaining might contribute to reducing overuse, but research on associations with service characteristics remains patchy. Objectives: We aimed investigate the between levels of primary health services Norway 2015 2018 amount variance...
Norway authorised out-patient commitment in 1961, but there is a lack of representative and complete data on the use orders.To establish incidence prevalence rates Norway, how these vary across service areas. Further, to study variations areas, in-patient services before after implementation orders. Finally, identify determinants for duration orders time readmission.Retrospective case register based medical files all patients with an order 2008-2012 six catchment areas covering one-third...
Abstract Objectives Compulsory mental health care includes compulsory hospitalisation and outpatient commitment with medication treatment without consent. Uncertain evidence of the effects contributes to large geographical variations a controversy on its use. Some argue that compulsion can rarely be justified should reduced an absolute minimum, while others claim more frequently justified. The limited base has contributed in raise issues about quality/appropriateness as well ethical...
Abstract Background Mental health professionals usually decide patients’ access to inpatient care ensure based on need and potential benefit. The purpose of the current study is investigate how patients evaluate admissions under a contract Patient-Controlled Admissions (PCA), where patient could initiate 5 day stays at community mental center their own discretion. Methods Patients with PCA in 2011 2012 were invited participate study. Staff first recorded clinical baseline values for...
