The proposed project seeks to create a California early psychosis network using a core assessment battery of valid, low burden measures and mHealth technology platform to collect client-level data, visualize data via clinician dashboard for treatment planning, and integrate across clinics to provide de-identified data to the national coordinating hub. Research capacity for the network will be tested via development and validation of a measure of the Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) that is feasible for use in community settings. The proposed California network will contribute systematically collected outcomes data on over 100 FEP clients per year, from 12 community and university EP clinics, to enhance the development of a national EP network, supported by the NIMH EPINET program.
A prolonged first episode of psychosis (FEP) without adequate treatment is the most consistent predictor of poor clinical and functional outcomes, poor health outcomes and significant economic burden. Team-based "coordinated specialty care" (CSC) for early psychosis (EP) has established effectiveness in promoting clinical and functional recovery. EP treatment programs have expanded rapidly with increased funding across the US without formal coordination of training or implementation. While EP programs share many features, the lack of state and national coordination and data infrastructure limi…
Inclusion Criteria: 1. FEP individuals, ages 12-30, who have experienced the onset of an affective (bipolar or major depression with psychotic features) or non-affective psychotic disorder (schizophrenia, schizoaffective, schizophreniform, brief psychotic, other specified or unspecified schizophrenia spectrum disorders) within the past 5 years and are receiving early psychosis services at one of the study sites. 2. Family members/support persons, over age 18, of the participating FEP (or CHR) individuals are receiving early psychosis services at one of the study sites 3. Early psychosis (EP)…
This mobile, app-based platform was designed to: 1) enable outcomes data collection from clients and family members/support person who are receiving care at an early psychosis program, 2) summarize the data visually for clients and providers on a secure web-based dashboard, and 3) allow download of de-identified data for program or research analysis.
A tool will be developed to enable measurement of the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) for FEP individuals based on 1) data other assessments that are typically completed during the intake process (e.g. SIPS, SCID) or 2) specific questions, prompts, a rating scale, and anchor points to enable rating of the DUP. Participants would have their DUP rated on the new tool and also complete a second assessment of DUP by research evaluators using the Symptom Onset in Schizophrenia Inventory (SOS) to determine reliability and validity of the new tool.
