Sammanfattning
In this article, the authors analyze a project established between a hospital and seven
municipalities, in which these institutions had collaborative teams in mental health, and in which one
of the objectives was to increase user involvement. The study is based upon ethnographic methods,
with document analyses, interviews with participants and user representatives in the project, and
observations of the meeting-places where there was discussion about what kind of services should
be provided to the users. Based on the data, the authors conclude that users are rarely represented
in forums where actual decisions regarding service provision are made. Based upon these findings,
the authors discuss how various collaborative teams might contribute to increased user participation.
