Similarly, individuals with ASD can present newly-onset psychotic symptoms.Aims The present review aimed to summarize the literature available on ASD and FEP to guide differential diagnosis between the two conditions and discuss the impact of ASD-FEP comorbidity on recovery.Methods The PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed. After conducting a comprehensive literature search, we screened 204 papers including participants with: (1) a comorbid diagnosis of FEP and ASD; (2) FEP and autistic traits; (3) separate groups of FEP and ASD.Results A total of 18 studies were discussed and confirmed the high prevalence of ASD or autistic traits in people referring to FEP services (up to 9% and 35% of FEP, respectively), which could negatively impact pathways to care, clinical presentation, and outcomes. Due to some similarities in ASD and FEP presentation (e.g., difficulties in social functioning), a differential diagnosis could be challenging. The features more suggestive of ASD rather than a primary FEP include illogical and concrete thinking, and a longstanding social interaction difficulty. Aberrant salience and suspiciousness can manifest in ASD, but are usually more transient, and stress-related than in FEP. Also, perceptual abnormalities are due to altered sensory processing rather than pathological hallucinations. The co-occurrence of ASD symptoms is associated with a reduced probability of clinical and functional recovery in FEP, a higher risk of suicidal behaviors, and higher unemployment rates.Conclusions The kaleidoscopic manifestations of FEP require an adequate differential diagnosis that should include ASD. FEP services ought to be equipped for an adequate assessment and diagnostic formulation, which can result particularly challenging should symptoms of autism be present in adult patients.Keywords: Psychosisautismearly detectionearly interventiondiagnosis AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all the colleagues of the Integrated Department of Mental Health and Pathological Addiction, Local Health Trust in Ferrara, for their effort and commitment to the implementation of the First Episode Psychosis Program in Ferrara.Authors’ contributionsAll authors commented on previous versions of the manuscript.

We conducted a community survey with a convenience sample of 673 residents from Haiti’s Cité Soleil (January - June 2021) to address these gaps. Participants answered questions on SI, on ACEs from the ACE international questionnaire (ACE-IQ) section 5 abuse-related items, on adult experiences of non-partner sexual violence, on use of alcohol to manage stress and on trauma responses. Latent Class Analysis identified a five-class-model of poly-victimization ranging from Class 1 (no abuse) to Class 5 (combination of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse). SI prevalence was 65.3%. Women were nearly twice as likely as men to report SI (95% CI = 1.08–2.74). Class 1 comprised 25% of participants. Class 5 members were almost four times more likely to endorse SI than Class 1 members (95% CI = 1.52–9.10). Class 4 members were roughly four times more likely to endorse SI than Class 1 members. (95% CL = 1.83–7.81). Class 3 members were nearly twice as likely to endorse SI as Class 1 members (95% CI = 1.03–3.35). Participant survivors of NPSV were three times more likely to report SI than non-victims (95% CI = 1.61–5.67). Alcohol use to manage stress increased odds of SI by 1.59 (95% CI = 1.01–2.52). Hypervigilance increased the odds of SI by 3.21 (95% CI = 1.84–5.58). Limitations include recall bias, non-generalizability, use of self-reported data, and ACE-IQ’s limitations.Early identification and prevention of SI, ACE, NPSV, alcohol use, and trauma are warranted.Keywords: Haitisuicidal ideationadverse childhood experiencesinterpersonal violencenon-partner sexual violence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136308725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the study is to better understand these barriers, with a focus on Canadians of color. To that end, this study surveyed 1501 adults representative of the general population, collected by the Angus Reid Institute. Over half of the respondents had sought out mental health care and experienced barriers to access. People of color (visible minorities and Indigenous people) had more difficulty accessing care, as did younger adults and those with lower incomes. The most common difficulties were largely structural: long waitlists (62%), financial barriers (58%), lack of resources/professionals in the area (47%), difficulty finding specialists (41%), and difficulty accessing in-person care during the pandemic (34%). Many noted negative experiences with mental health professionals (35%). More English-speaking than French-speaking Canadians reported barriers to care overall. Race/ethnicity was related to difficulties when trying to access mental health care, as many could not find someone of the same group (25% of Black respondents), someone who spoke their preferred language (22% of South Asian respondents), or they had prior negative experiences (50% of Indigenous respondents). We discuss the implications of these findings, including the critical need to increase the supply and diversity of mental health providers across Canada. This study is one of the first to provide quantitative data on the perceived barriers faced by Canadians in accessing mental health care while exploring the role of language, race, and ethnicity as variables that may influence access.","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"52 1","pages":"312 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47748059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
