What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop an innovative E-Detection Tool for Emerging Mental Disorders (ENTER) to improve the identification of young individuals experiencing emerging psychosis. Participants aged 12-35 will complete an online questionnaire and short exercises on digital platforms, followed by face-to-face assessments to confirm their mental state. The tool will incorporate epidemiologically-based risk and protective factors to enhance the screening process, leveraging the research team's previous expertise in the field. The goal is to facilitate early detection and intervention for those at risk of psychosis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this tool could lead to earlier identification and intervention for young people at risk of developing psychosis, potentially improving their long-term mental health outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with digital screening tools for mental health conditions, indicating potential for this novel approach.
