In this e-poster, we will present the assertive community treatment (ACT) model in both Japan and Toronto, Canada. We will compare the adaptations of ACT models in both teams in order to serve their target populations efficiently and effectively.

We will also compare the demographic data, clinical data and the outcomes of both ACT teams by analysing the hospitalisation days, number of emergency admission and the number of admissions into hospitals.

We will also highlight differences in the mental health systems in Japan and Canada.
