Abstract
Family members are integral to the care and support of individuals experiencing early psychosis, and while studies have brought to light the impact of family engagement, there is a dearth in the literature on the ways family engagement in services affects service user engagement. The present study examined the relationship between initial family engagement and service user engagement among 349 service users enrolled in New Journeys, a network of coordinated specialty care (CSC) programs. Service users whose family members were initially engaged in treatment in the first month were more likely to remain engaged and attend appointments during the first 7 months relative to service users whose family members were not initially engaged (χ-2=88.4; p < 0.001). Overall, for a one unit increase in total number of appointments attended by family members in the first 24 months, the odds of service users' engagement increased by 14% (OR: 1.14, CI: 1.12-1.16). Findings demonstrate the association between family engagement and the engagement of service users in CSC.
