Summary

This study tested a mobile app designed to help caregivers of young adults (ages 15-35) with early psychosis. The app provided interactive lessons to improve caregivers' knowledge and coping skills, aiming to reduce how long psychosis goes untreated. Sixty caregivers in the U.S. participated in a remote pilot trial comparing the app to existing online resources. The research focused on whether the app was acceptable and feasible, and explored its effects on family communication and treatment-seeking.
