California Collaborative Network to Promote Data Driven Care and Improve Outcomes in Early Psychosis
United States1,329 participantsStarted 2019-09-10
Plain-language summary
The proposed project seeks to create a California early psychosis network using a core assessment battery of valid, low burden measures and mHealth technology platform to collect client-level data, visualize data via clinician dashboard for treatment planning, and integrate across clinics to provide de-identified data to the national coordinating hub. Research capacity for the network will be tested via development and validation of a measure of the Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) that is feasible for use in community settings. The proposed California network will contribute systematically collected outcomes data on over 100 FEP clients per year, from 12 community and university EP clinics, to enhance the development of a national EP network, supported by the NIMH EPINET program.

Inclusion criteria
. FEP individuals, ages 12-30, who have experienced the onset of an affective (bipolar or major depression with psychotic features) or non-affective psychotic disorder (schizophrenia, schizoaffective, schizophreniform, brief psychotic, other specified or unspecified schizophrenia spectrum disorders) within the past 5 years and are receiving early psychosis services at one of the study sites.
. Family members/support persons, over age 18, of the participating FEP (or CHR) individuals are receiving early psychosis services at one of the study sites
. Early psychosis (EP) care providers (e.g. clinicians, physicians, nurses, support staff) who are providing care at one of the study sites.
. Additional stakeholders from the communities served by the study sites, including EP program and county administrators, state representatives, and local community groups as well as researchers and other experts in relevant domains.
. Clinical high risk (CHR) individuals, ages 12-30, who have no history of psychosis and will demonstrate attenuated psychotic symptoms consistent with the Structured Interview for Prodromal Syndromes (SIPS), or genetic risk (first-degree relative with psychosis) in conjunction with a substantial drop in functioning over the past year.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
