The impact of established risk factors for psychosis on the 3-year outcomes

Abstract

.g., family history of schizophrenia, personal psychiatric history) had no impact on the outcomes selected, others (e.g., migration in adversity, cannabis use, tobacco use and trauma) were associated with poorer symptomatic and functional outcomes. Results suggest that factors inducing an increased risk of developing psychosis also affect clinical presentation and outcome. Those risks should, therefore, be assessed at baseline and considered when defining treatment strategies.
