Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
REDIRECT: cluster randomised controlled trial of GP training in first-episode psychosis.
Delays in accessing care for young people with a first episode of psychosis are significantly associated with poorer treatment response and higher relapse rates. ⋯ GP training on first-episode psychosis is insufficient to alter referral rates to early-intervention services or reduce the duration of untreated psychosis; however, there is a suggestion that training facilitates access to the new specialist teams for early psychosis.
