Conclusion: We calculated ratios of impact to cost for nudge interventions and for traditional policy tools, such as tax incentives and other financial inducements, and we found that nudge interventions often compare favorably with traditional interventions.

PubMed 41275940 ↗Conclusion: This paper highlights the interplay between systemic, environmental and individual factors contributing to adverse experiences in mental health inpatient settings. By recognising and addressing these factors, we can significantly enhance patient outcomes. Application of adversity to Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory provides a strategic approach to improving service design and delivery, advocating for environments that prioritise patient safety, dignity and respect.
