Strengthening Disability Benefit, Work & School Services in Early Psychosis - Family

STUDY BASICS

Researchers in Pennsylvania & Maryland are conducting interviews to deepen our understanding of family member perspectives on factors influencing the outcomes of individuals with early psychosis, and barriers and opportunities in early psychosis services.

STUDY PURPOSE

While early intervention programs improve work, school and financial outcomes overall, not everyone equally benefits and many clients still face significant barriers to school and work, and financial hardship.  The goal of the project is to develop a deeper understanding of these barriers in order to identify solutions.
