Journal Article
Larkin, A., & Hutton, P. (2017). Systematic review and meta-analysis of factors that help or hinder treatment decision-making capacity in psychosis. British Journal of Psychiatry, 211(4), 205-215. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.bp.116.193458

Background: The evidence on factors that may influence treatment decisional capacity (‘capacity) in psychosis has yet to be comprehensively synthesised, which limits the development of effective strategies to improve or support it.
Aims: To determin... Read More about Systematic review and meta-analysis of factors that help or hinder treatment decision-making capacity in psychosis.
