Journal ArticleDOI

Psychosis prediction: 12-month follow up of a high-risk ("prodromal") group.

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

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

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

The prevalence of prodromal features of schizophrenia in adolescence: a preliminary survey

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

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.
