APPENDIX A: STATEMENT OF TASK

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and host a public workshop that will explore how to potentially improve the behavioral health system with a focus on early interventions for psychosis, such as early prevention, identification, treatment, and recovery. The workshop will feature invited presentations and moderated discussions on topics that may include

  • The epidemiology of first-episode psychosis and the population at high risk for psychosis, including international data, and gaps in knowledge;
  • The current models of effective or promising interventions and service delivery for patients with early psychosis and populations at high risk for psychosis; and
  • Evidence on short- and long-term outcomes of early prevention efforts for those at high-risk of psychosis and interventions for those who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis.

The planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.

Studies show that people commonly have psychotic symptoms for over a year before receiving treatment. Reducing this duration is critical, because early treatment is strongly associated with better outcomes. The National Academies Forum on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders hosted a workshop in July 2022 to examine the current evidence on short- and long-term outcomes for people at high risk for psychosis. Speakers explored potential policy solutions and strategies that are most effective for coordinated, early-intervention specialty services. This Proceedings document summarizes workshop discussions.
