  24. Eight of 12 studies in a broad review of the evidence for community treatment orders found they reduced hospital readmission. But methodologies varied; the argument could be made that someone’s improvement was due to access to intervention, rather than the compulsion itself. Outcomes are better for people who are on CTOs for a longer period of time but that could be because people are kept on the CTO longer explicitly because they’re doing well. And hospitalization outcome differences between people on orders and off them were negligible in the few studies that were randomized. “The lack of evidence for patient benefit, particularly when combined with restrictions to personal liberty, is striking and needs to be taken seriously,” the study’s authors write. “Clinicians have a duty to provide their patients with treatment in the least restrictive environment.” Jorun Rugkasa, John Dawson and Tom Burns, “CTOs: What Is the State of the Evidence?” Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology (February 2014).
