Summary

There is considerable geographical variation in the rates of compulsion in psychiatric services within as well as between countries. Reducing the use of compulsion of patients with severe mental illness is an expressed policy aim, and also a demand from service user organisations. In Norway, municipalities hold responsibility for primary care and are therefore central to the delivery of services to people with severe mental illness. This indicates a potential for intervening at the municipal level to reduce the use of compulsion where it is high. The Reducing Coercion in Norway study (RECON) will, in collaboration with municipalities with high compulsion rates, develop a municipal-level intervention (Stage 1) that will be implemented in a cluster-RCT (Stage 2) to test if it has effect on compulsion rates.pulsion rates.
