Summary

This pilot study tested a community-based intervention for people with psychosis in Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Zimbabwe. The program includes peer support from someone who has experienced psychosis, case management, and help with daily activities like finding work or social events. Researchers measured changes in quality of life over four months to see if the approach is feasible and helpful before planning larger studies.
