To examine the acceptability of implementing Individual Placement and Support (IPS) vocational assistance within a clinical early detection service for young people at high risk for psychosis.
Conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 25 clients and 13 clinicians following the IPS intervention at Outreach and Support in South London (OASIS).
Analyzed qualitative interview transcripts using framework analysis guided by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA).
Interview data mapped onto five TFA constructs—affective attitude, burden, ethicality, perceived effectiveness, and self-efficacy—with an additional construct identified for the therapeutic relationship with the IPS specialist.
Both clients and clinicians reported high intervention acceptability, endorsing the permanent integration and expansion of IPS within early psychosis detection services to target educational and employment challenges.
