Abstract

Identification of predictors that contribute to explaining regional variance of involuntary admission (IA) in Switzerland. Multiple regression analysis including potential predictors and regional rates of IA at the level of utilisation-based care regions. Authorisation to issue involuntary admission, assistance/guardianship, outpatient consultation rate in psychiatric practices, hospitalisation rate and urbanisation are significantly related to regional variation in IA rates. Restrictive regulation of the authority to issue IA and voluntary outpatient psychosocial and administrative support measures can contribute to a reduction in the rates of IA.
