Certain groups may be at increased risk for involuntary psychiatric hospitalization during childhood, which likely establishes a cycle of health care inequality. These findings, from a systematic review and meta-analysis, were published in
Lancet Child and Adolescent Health.
Researchers at University College London searched publication databases through July of 2020 for studies of voluntary and involuntary psychiatric inpatients among children and adolescents. A total of 23 studies were included in the narrative review, 19 of which were used for the meta-analysis.
All studies were conducted in high-income countries (Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Israel). A total of 41,271 inpatients were represented in this study, 23.6% of whom were involuntarily hospitalized.
