Author: Hamilton, Sarah A.; Wastler, Heather M.; Moe, Aubrey M.; Cowan, Henry R.; Lundin, Nancy B.; Guirgis, Hossam H.; Parris, Craig J.; Stearns, Walter H.; Manges, Margaret E.; Holmes, Anne C.; Blouin, Alexandra M.; Breitborde, Nicholas J. K.

Description: Validated, multicomponent treatments designed to address symptoms and functioning of individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis are currently lacking. The authors report findings of a study with such individuals participating in step-based care-a program designed to provide low-intensity, non-psychosis-specific interventions and advancement to higher-intensity, psychosis-specific interventions only if an individual is not meeting criteria for a clinical response. Among individuals with symptomatic or functional concerns at enrollment, 67% met criteria for a symptomatic response (median time to response=11.1 weeks), and 64% met criteria for a functional response (median time to response=8.9 weeks).
