Abstract

Aim: To compare psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in adolescents and young adults referred to the Mental Health Services (MHSs).

Methods: Participants scored the 16-item Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ-16) as part of the intake procedure. Data on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) classification and demographic data were collected.

Results: The PQ-16 was completed by 13 783 respondents (mean age 24.63 years, SD = 6.09; 62.6% female). Overall, the scores on the PQ-16 were not higher for adolescents (11-17 years; m = 4.84, SD = 3.62) than for young adults (18-35 years; m = 5.47, SD = 3.85). On PQ-16 item level, adolescents reported seeing and hearing things more than adults did. Across all age groups, males scored lower on the PQ-16 than females. Specifically, adolescent males scored lower than other participants. For adolescents and young adults alike, PQ-16 scores were higher for participants with borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and mood disorder than for those with other DSM classifications.

Conclusions: Although help-seeking adolescents did not score higher on the PQ-16 than help-seeking young adults, more of them reported perceptual anomalies. Irrespective of age, participants with borderline personality disorder, PTSD and mood disorder scored higher on the PQ-16 than those with other DSM classifications.

在16项前驱症状问卷（PQ-16）中，寻求帮助的青少年是否比年轻成年人报告了更多类似精神病的经历？

目的：比较转诊至精神卫生服务机构（MHSs）的青少年和年轻成年人的精神病样经历（PLEs）：方法：作为入院程序的一部分，参与者对 16 项前驱症状问卷（PQ-16）进行评分。方法：作为入院程序的一部分，参与者对 16 个项目的前驱症状问卷（PQ-16）进行评分，并收集有关《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》（DSM）分类的数据和人口统计学数据：13 783 名受访者填写了 PQ-16（平均年龄 24.63 岁，SD = 6.09；女性占 62.6%）。总体而言，青少年（11-17 岁；m = 4.84，SD = 3.62）的 PQ-16 分数并不比年轻成人（18-35 岁；m = 5.47，SD = 3.85）高。在 PQ-16 项目水平上，青少年比成年人更多地报告看到和听到事物。在所有年龄组中，男性的 PQ-16 分数均低于女性。具体来说，青少年男性的得分低于其他参与者。无论是青少年还是年轻成年人，患有边缘型人格障碍、创伤后应激障碍和情绪障碍的参与者的 PQ-16 得分均高于患有其他 DSM 分类的参与者：尽管寻求帮助的青少年在 PQ-16 中的得分并不比寻求帮助的年轻人高，但他们中有更多人报告了知觉异常。无论年龄大小，患有边缘型人格障碍、创伤后应激障碍和情绪障碍的参与者在 PQ-16 中的得分都高于患有 DSM 其他分类的参与者。
