    Study Notes

    Intervention Effectiveness

    • Case Management (CM), Early Intervention Services (EIS), and Caregiver-Directed Interventions are superior to standard care in reducing hospital admissions.

    Psychosocial Outcomes

    • EIS shows high-quality evidence of a small positive effect on global functioning.
    • Intensive Case Management shows moderate-quality evidence of a similar small effect on global functioning.
    • Family Interventions have a large effect on global functioning supported by moderate-quality evidence.

    Quality of Life

    • EIS and Self-Management Education both show a small positive effect on quality of life, supported with moderate-quality evidence.

    Research Gaps

    • Significant research exists on effective Community Mental Health (CMH) models.
    • Notable gaps exist in innovative CMH strategies that haven't been covered in meta-analyses.

    Summary

    • EIS, Intensive Case Management, and family interventions are effective in reducing hospital admissions and improving psychosocial outcomes.
    • Further exploration of innovative CMH models is needed.
    • Recovery rates are higher in North America and pre-'97 studies.
    • Recovery rates haven't significantly changed in the past 20-30 years.
    • Despite 30 years of Early Intervention Program (EIP) initiatives, overall prognosis hasn't improved; remission from the first episode has increased but rates of full recovery have possibly decreased.
    • Schizophrenia hospital admissions in the UK have decreased.
    • Prognosis may be better in lower and middle-income countries and the USA.
    • Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) initiatives show significant impact in trials but have not reduced long-term psychosis outcomes across the population. Possible reasons for this: different attitudes towards psychosis episodes; urbanization versus collectivist societies.

    Barriers to Progress in Improving Psychosis Outcomes

    • Difficulties detecting At Risk Mental States (ARMS) and false positives.
    • Few people present to services when psychosis develops (they don't come through the early detection service).
    • 50.2% of people with psychosis/bipolar disorder have a history of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) contact; 6 years is the median period from CAMHS contact to psychosis/bipolar diagnosis.

    Challenges in Finding People with ARMS

    • Limited predictive validity of detecting ARMS.
    • Transition rates to psychosis are 32% at 3 years for people assessed as having an At-Risk Mental State (ARMS).
    • Transition rates are 15% for under-18s with ARMS after 5 years.

    Approaching Improving Management of At Risk Mental States

    • Combining clinical screening tools with biomarkers (e.g., imaging, EEG abnormalities, genetic markers).
    • Incorporating cognitive markers (e.g., working memory, executive functioning.)
    • Using machine learning/AI approaches to combine risk markers for 70-80% prediction.
    • Limited evidence of how to find people with ARMS through assertive screening efforts as these increase false positive rates.

    Approaches to Improving Management of At Risk Mental States (cont.)

    • Development of effective interventions for psychosis with less potential for negative side effects or complications.
    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is considered the most promising approach in meta-analyses, leading to a 52% reduction in incidence at 12 months.
    • Development of transdiagnostic approaches is needed to address conditions like trauma and comorbidities.

    Barriers to Progress in Improving Psychosis Outcomes (cont.)

    • Limited evidence for intervention-level models to address service delivery for cultural, illness stage, and comorbidity considerations for individualizing care.
    • Limited focus on interventions for trauma, important comorbidities, and personality disorders.
    • Not sufficient co-production of services (input from patients and caregivers).
    • Severe social difficulties among service users and lack of societal/individual strategies to address these.
    • Lack of funding for services, particularly in underserved areas.

    Ethnic Differences in Receipt of CBTP

    • People from certain ethnicities (e.g., Bangladeshi, Pakistani) are less likely to receive CBT for psychosis if they use EIS

    Robust Evidence for Psychosis Detection

    • Insufficient evidence to provide robust evidence on the detection of psychosis.
    • Increased focus on detection within early interventions for severe mental health issues (e.g., depression).
    • Further development of interventions that promote engagement with services is needed.

    Barriers to Progress in Improving Psychosis Outcomes (cont.)

    • Loss of effect after leaving early intervention services: mixed results regarding the continued effect of interventions for people leaving the service.
    • Better evidence is needed on whether the benefits of early intervention services are sustained beyond discharge and whether extending services has benefits or for whom.

    Research and Intervention Development

    • Investigate sustained benefits of early intervention services after discharge to primary care.
    • Explore whether extending early interventions has benefits, and if so, for whom.
    • Further investigation into discharge processes and service pathways; determining appropriate service delivery pathways and whether different discharge criteria exist for individual needs.
    • Early interventions are necessary as a high-quality service for psychosis and must address societal and service challenges.

    Summary of Study

    • Large investments in early intervention for psychosis to improve outcomes across various medical conditions (e.g., bipolar disorder).
    • Early intervention is effective and cost-effective to achieve modest improvements in prognosis; however, critical information about ideal intervention approaches is still lacking and needs further research.
    • Early detection of psychosis and shortening duration of untreated psychosis deserve further attention to develop effective approaches, including youth mental health services.
