The presentation discusses why involuntary psychiatric care (IPC), a major medical intervention for patients with severe mental illness in crisis, requires scientific evaluation. The authors advocate more rigorous evaluation of IPC as a medical intervention, examining different study designs, their ethical challenges, and their methodological strengths and limitations with the aim of establishing a causal evidence base. A review of the literature on the causal effects of IPC on relevant clinical outcomes reveals a general lack of robust evidence and consensus in the field. The authors emphasize that a comprehensive evaluation requires triangulating evidence from experimental studies with observational designs suitable for causal inference and qualitative research. They note that, without a robust, patient-centered evidence base, the ethical and legal justification for IPC remains uncertain. In conclusion, a mixed-methods approach integrating experimental, observational, and qualitative designs is proposed to provide robust effect estimates. Given the complexity of IPC and the expected heterogeneity of its effects, the authors argue that future research should examine specific effects under well-defined conditions and contextualize these effects through qualitative analysis.
