People, process, and power: implementing advance choice documents for Black people in mental healthcare
Known enablers and barriers to ACD implementation are important when considering ACDs for Black people, as is explicitly engaging with their experiences holistically, including racialised historical and individual experiences that underline some treatment preferences. Independent facilitation and shifts in service user-staff power dynamics present as key to realising the potential of ACDs to empower Black service users in relation to their care, and in turn to potentially reduce coercive care.
