Summary

This study tested whether delivering coordinated specialty care (CSC) via telehealth works as well as standard in-person care for young people (ages 16–35) with early psychosis. Over 12 months, researchers tracked hospitalizations and engagement in 74 participants. The goal was to see if virtual care could improve access and outcomes for this vulnerable group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) delivered via telehealth or in-person
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that telehealth is as good as or better than in-person care for keeping young people with early psychosis engaged in treatment and out of the hospital.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (74 people) with no blinding, so results may not apply broadly. Telehealth may not work for everyone, and some participants might prefer or need in-person visits.
