ForwardNovember 2, 2023: 12th Donald C. Goff, M.D., Lecture in Schizophrenia
Prediction and Prevention for Youth at High Risk for Psychosis
This lecture will give an overview of the latest findings in the area of early identification and intervention for psychosis, specifically covering prediction, hypothesized mechanisms of onset, and intervention. I will highlight recent findings regarding clinical and biological predictors of conversion to psychosis. I will then discuss a new large-scale global initiative, focused on the development of biomarkers to improve success in treatment development. Lastly, I will discuss promising findings regarding psychosocial interventions in youth at clinical high risk for psychosis.
Target Audience
This program is intended for: Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Fellows, Residents, Interns and Nurses
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain the rationale for reducing duration of untreated psychosis
- Identify clinical predictors of psychotic disorder in high risk youth
- Assess how adding biological predictors improves the ability to predict psychosis outcome
