NCT ID NCT05284721
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a family peer navigator model to help Black/African American families get connected to coordinated specialty care for a loved one showing early signs of psychosis. The navigator provides education, support, and check-ins to encourage initial engagement. The trial will see if this approach is acceptable, feasible, and helpful for families.
What this could mean

- Family Peer Navigator model
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve access to mental health care for Black families and reduce disparities in early psychosis treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not be more effective than standard care, and engagement may still be challenging.
