Psychiatric hospital admissions in Bristol. II. Social and clinical aspects of compulsory admission

G Harrison, B Ineichen, J Smith and HG Morgan

Three groups of patients admitted compulsorily from populations with markedly different rates of compulsory psychiatric admissions were compared on a range of social and clinical data. Whilst West Indian and white patients from inner city areas differed in many respects, they were both more likely than other patients to be referred to the psychiatric services through police agencies, with little GP involvement and were often admitted from public places following disturbed behaviour. However, levels of violence and threatening behaviour were no higher among inner city patients, black or white, and once admitted, these groups showed similar treatment compliance to white patients who had been admitted compulsorily from suburban areas. Implications for primary care and delivery of psychiatric services are discussed.
