NCT ID NCT05813457

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a program called PRESTO that aims to identify and treat first-episode psychosis sooner. The program educates the public, trains frontline workers like doctors and teachers, and provides a mobile team to connect patients to care. Researchers will measure whether this reduces the time a person goes untreated, which may improve their long-term outlook. The trial involves 416 participants across multiple centers.

Active substance

PRESTO Early Identification Program (community education, training for frontline workers, and a mobile care team)

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could become a model for reducing delays in treating first-episode psychosis, potentially improving long-term outcomes for patients.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Results depend on community uptake and may not be easily replicated in other regions. The study is still recruiting.
