Abstract: Purpose: Involuntary hospitalisations for mental health care are rising in many high income countries, including England. Looking at variation between areas can help us understand why rates are rising and how this might be reversed. This cross-sectional, ecological study aimed to better understand variation in involuntary hospitalisations across England. Method: The unit of analysis was Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), NHS bodies responsible for delivering healthcare to local areas in England. 205 CCGs were included in the analysis. Demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic variables at CCG-level were extracted from national, open access data bases. The outcome variable was the rate of involuntary hospitalisation for psychiatric care under the 1983 Mental Health Act in 2021/22. Results: There was a four-fold difference between the CCGs with the highest and lowest involuntary hospitalisations. In an adjusted analysis, CCGs with a higher percentage of severe mental illness in the population, higher percentage of male population, and higher community and outpatient mental health care use showed a higher rate of involuntary hospitalisation. Depression, urbanicity, deprivation, ethnicity, and age were not strongly associated with involuntary hospitalisation after adjustment. These variables explained 10.68% of the variation in involuntary hospitalisations across CCGs. Conclusion: Some demographic and clinical variables explained variation in involuntary hospitalisation between areas in England, however, most of the variance was unexplained. Complex relationships between urbanicity, deprivation, age, and ethnicity need to be further explored. The role of other influences, such as variation in service organisation or clinical practice, also need to be better understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
