4036-23: Improving the Patient Experiences of African Caribbean Men Detained Under the Mental Health Act: Working Towards a Co-produced Intervention Using the Silences Framework (IMPROVE-ACT)

The negative and disproportionate experience of BAC men detained under mental health legislation demonstrates the need for approaches that promote shared decision making and prevents systemic injustices.
