TL;DR: For example, this paper found that higher levels of experienced discrimination were associated with several lifetime depressive episodes (negative binomial regression coeffi cient 0·20 [95% CI 0·09-0·32], p=0·001); at least one lifetime psychiatric hospital admission (0·29 [0·15-0-42], p =0·004); poorer levels of social functioning (widowed, separated, or divorced 0·10 [0 ·01−0·19], pÕ0·032; unpaid employed 0·34 [0

TL;DR: A cluster-randomized controlled trial comparing an integrated multi-element psychosocial intervention, comprising cognitive behavioral therapy, family intervention, and case management, with treatment as usual for FEP patients in 117 community mental health centers in a large area of northern Italy supports feasibility and effectiveness of early interventions for psychosis in generalist mental health services.
