NCT ID NCT06640803

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a stepped-care program to help identify and treat young people (ages 12-25) who are at clinical high risk for psychosis. The program is being rolled out in six community mental health clinics and includes steps like assessment, case management, stress management, and therapy. Researchers will track how many youth enroll and move through the program, and whether their symptoms and functioning improve over two years.
