In the light of the
results from this study,
the answer seems to be yes.
![Page 29: 1 Is the ACT model effective in a contemporary Danish psychiatric setting? Preliminary Results from a Danish Multi-centre Trial of Assertive Community.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa41a28abf838c96ef1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

CONCLUSION - continued
Patients do not experience the assertive outreach in the Danish ACT Teams as coercive - the contrary appears to be the case
Patients in the ACT Teams experience a higher degree of influence on medication
Danes with other ethnic background differ significantly in their experience of coercion
The patient perspective is important

even if it was harmful to patient’s health
