First do no harm: measuring disparities in child involuntary mental health detainment order use and provider justification using natural language processing

The objectives were to examine: 1) predictors of 72-hour involuntary mental health (MH) detainment order use among children receiving emergency department (ED) care; and 2) variation in reason (danger to self, danger to others, and grave disability) and provider sentiment in documentation of probable cause by child sociodemographics and clinical characteristics.
