Previously, we demonstrated that cognitive behavior therapy for ultra-high risk (called CBTuhr) halved the incidence of psychosis over an 18-month period. Follow-up data from same study are used to evaluate longer-term effects at 4 years post-baseline. The Dutch Early Detection and Intervention Evaluation was a randomized controlled trial 196 UHR patients comparing CBTuhr with treatment-as-usual (TAU) comorbid disorders TAU only.

The Dutch Early Detection and Intervention randomized controlled trial was used, comparing routine care (RC; n = 101) with plus CBT UHR (here called CBTuhr; 95). A analysis conducted treatment response (defined as proportion averted transitions psychosis) an outcome a cost-utility quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)...

Highly accessible youth initiatives worldwide aim to prevent worsening of mental health problems, but research into outcomes over time is scarce.
Computerized adaptive tests (CATs) for positive and negative psychotic experiences were developed tested in N = 5705 help-seeking, non-psychotic young individuals. Instead of presenting all items, CATs choose a varying number different items during test administration depending on respondents' previous answers, reducing the average while still obtaining accurate person estimates. We assessed appropriateness two-parameter logistic models to symptoms Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ), computed...
