Objective:
Identification of predictors that contribute to explaining regional variance of involuntary admission (IA) in Switzerland.
Methods:
Multiple regression analysis including potential predictors and regional rates of IA at the level of utilisation-based care regions.
Results:
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.
Conclusion:
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.
