The use of community treatment orders (CTOs) is available in more than 70 jurisdictions around the world. Although CTOs are used extensively, their effectiveness remains doubtful. We comment on the existing evidence and focus on components that influence the outcomes of CTOs internationally. It is essential to identify factors that affect the delivery of CTOs, and mixed methodologies may improve our understanding regarding their efficiency.
全球70多个司法管辖区都有社区治疗令（CTO）的使用。尽管CTO被广泛应用，但其有效性仍存疑问。我们对现有证据进行评论，并聚焦于在国际上影响CTO结果的因素。识别影响CTO实施的因素至关重要，混合方法可能会增进我们对其效率的理解。
