Journal ArticleDOI

Reducing the duration of untreated first-episode psychosis: effects on clinical presentation.

TL;DR: It is possible to reduce the DUP for first-episode patients in a defined health care area through the introduction of an early detection (ED) program, compared with parallel health care areas without an ED program (No-ED).
Journal ArticleDOI

Early Detection and Intervention With Schizophrenia: Rationale

TL;DR: The evidence to date does not demonstrate that early intervention with known treatments can change the natural history of schizophrenia, but it is suggestive enough (for both biological and psychosocial treatment) to support further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early detection strategies for untreated first-episode psychosis

TL;DR: The study's major independent intervention variable is described, i.e. a comprehensive education and detection system to change DUP in first onset psychosis, which appears to be effective and to influence directly the community's help-seeking behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Premorbid functioning versus duration of untreated psychosis in 1 year outcome in first-episode psychosis.

TL;DR: The findings strengthen the rationale for establishing health service programs for early detection and treatment of first-onset psychosis and to a limited degree premorbid functioning and DUP interact, but DUP has an independent influence on outcome.
