What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via telehealth

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an accessible, stigma-reducing way to deliver therapy that helps young people at risk for psychosis improve their daily functioning and social connections.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy may not reduce the risk of developing psychosis or may not be as effective as in-person sessions.
