Impact of the CCA on recorded involuntary care512CCA was statistically lower than before the introduction of the Act, showing a decrease in recordings of involuntary care (b = -0.0019, SE = 0.00016, t = -12.09, p < .001; standardised mean difference: -0.074 standard deviations, 95% CI [-0.086, -0.063]).Then, we tested whether the introduction of the initial COVID-19 lockdown measures were associated with changes in recordings of involuntary care, over and above the introduction of the CCA. There was no statistical change in the intercept (b = 0.17, SE = 0.73, t = 0.23, p = 0.82) or the slope (b = -0.00081, SE = 0.0045, t = -0.18, p = 0.86) from the period before the start of the COVID-19 lockdown measures (week 1 of 2017 until week 11 of 2020) to the period after the lockdown measures were introduced (week 11 of 2020 until week 52 of 2021). Impact of full implementation of the CCA on recordings of involuntary careChanges in the intercept and slope were examined from the period before and after the implementation of the CCA was finalised (week 1 of 2021).0 500 1000 1500YearMeasures per week per 1,000 clients2017 2018 2019 2020 2021Figure 2.
