Psychosis prediction: 12-month follow up of a high-risk ("prodromal") group.
Alison R. Yung,Lisa J. Phillips,Hok Pan Yuen,Shona M. Francey,Colleen A. McFarlane,Mats Hallgren,Patrick D. McGorry,Patrick D. McGorry +7 more
TL;DR: It is illustrated that it is possible to recruit and follow up individuals at ultra high risk of developing psychosis within a relatively brief follow-up period and some highly significant predictors of psychosis were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of psychosis. A step towards indicated prevention of schizophrenia
Alison R. Yung,Lisa J. Phillips,Patrick D. McGorry,Colleen A. McFarlane,Shona M. Francey,Susan Harrigan,George C Patton,Henry J. Jackson +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to identify individuals with a high likelihood of onset of psychosis within a brief follow-up period, which lays the foundation for early treatment in an attempt to prevent, delay or minimise the severity of first onset of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring and Care of Young People at Incipient Risk of Psychosis
Alison R. Yung,Patrick D. McGorry,Colleen A. McFarlane,Henry J. Jackson,George C Patton,Arun Rakkar +5 more
TL;DR: The theoretical background, origins, and development of a new clinical service for intervention in the putatively prodromal phase of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders and preliminary data from the service's 20-month pilot phase are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patrick D. McGorry,Colleen A. McFarlane,Colleen A. McFarlane,George C Patton,George C Patton,Richard C. Bell,Richard C. Bell,Marienne Hibbert,Henry J. Jackson,Henry J. Jackson,Glenn Bowes,Glenn Bowes +11 more
TL;DR: Clinically these features cannot be regarded as sufficient evidence of early schizophrenia and more accurate predictors of incipient schizophrenia need to be defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preventative mental health care: accessing the target population
Lisa J. Phillips,Alison R. Yung,Narelle Hearn,Colleen A. McFarlane,Mats Hallgren,Patrick D. McGorry +5 more
TL;DR: Patterns of referral to one service providing clinical care for young people known to be at high risk of developing a psychotic illness are summarized to influence the development of strategies to improve access to this service and others aimed at the prevention of psychosis.
