First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether sending text message reminders and support to young people with psychosis after an emergency room visit helps them attend their first early psychosis appointment. 186 participants were enrolled. The goal was to see if a low-cost, youth-friendly approach could improve care transitions.
