Brief Summary

The objective of the proposed study is to determine the feasibility of an Early Detection program that aims to: (i) identify college students at clinical high risk (CHR) of psychosis or with first episode psychosis (FEP), and (ii) efficiently link them to coordinated specialty care (CSC) services for a 2nd stage screen, a clinical assessment, and appropriate treatment. The study will also determine pathways to care and perceived barriers to care among those students enrolled in Coordinated Specialty Care.

Conditions
