Determine whether an early detection program can decrease the duration of untreated psychosis and evaluate its effect on patient clinical status over three months.
Implemented an early detection (ED) program targeted at identifying and treating first-episode psychosis.
Evaluated participant clinical status at baseline and at a 3-month follow-up.
Participation in the early detection program successfully reduced the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP).
Reductions in DUP were associated with improved clinical status at baseline, and these clinical gains were maintained at 3 months.
