| description | This mixed-methods exploratory research explored the factors contributing to the prescribing of antipsychotic polypharmacy outside of guideline recommendations at a public psychiatric facility in Western Australia.

The implementation and outcomes of the intervention were evaluated using the Medical Research Council's Intervention Process Evaluation Framework. |
