Key Points

  • The research aims to examine how early intervention services affect substance use outcomes in young individuals at risk for psychosis.
  • Evaluation of early intervention services (EIP) provided to young people
  • Comparative analysis of substance use outcomes, specifically illicit drugs and tobacco
  • Assessment of the need for tailored approaches to manage ongoing substance use
  • EIP services led to significant reductions in illicit substance use among participants.
  • Impact on tobacco use was limited, indicating a need for additional strategies.
  • Calls for integration of targeted approaches into EIP care for better substance management.

Abstract

EIP services were associated with reductions in illicit substance use but had limited impact on tobacco use. Targeted strategies to address persistent use of these substances should be integrated into routine EIP care.
