Summary
This study looks at whether Advance Choice Documents (ACDs) — written plans made with a care team when a person is well — can reduce the number of times people are forced into psychiatric hospital. Researchers at King's College London are testing this with 374 participants across mental health services. The goal is to see if ACDs improve care and cut down on compulsory admissions.
