Summary

This study tests whether sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, can prevent psychosis in 300 people at high risk. Participants take either sulforaphane or a placebo daily for a year, then are followed for another year. The main goal is to see if fewer people in the sulforaphane group develop psychosis.
