 Project Summary  Jason Schiffman, Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2004) of University of Hawaii, aims to study the ability to identify adolescents at high risk for developing psychoses, with the goal of developing pre-psychotic interventions. In conjunction with the Hawaii Mental Health Department, Dr. Schiffman proposes to identify 40 adolescents on an apparent trajectory towards schizophrenia. These adolescents will have symptoms and traits associated with a high risk for the future development of schizophrenia. Risk factors include psychotic-like symptoms, a family history of psychosis, and a recent worsening of functioning. Dr. Schiffman proposes following at-risk adolescents for one year to determine (and then refine) the accuracy of methods in predicting psychosis. The goal of this project is to predict individuals in Hawaii destined to develop schizophrenia at a rate accurate enough to justify future efforts towards early intervention. Program Area: SCHIZOPHRENIA/PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS\Schizophrenia |
