Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of community size and the availability of admitting facilities on rates of involuntary admissions in a Canadian province with a very small population. The rate was much higher for areas within close proximity of the admitting facility and for communities with populations either less than 500 or greater than 30,000. These findings are discussed in the context of factors such as geographic distribution of population in the province and availability of appropriate psychiatric and social support facilities.
