California collaborative network to promote data driven care and improve outcomes in early psychosis

Description:
The proposed project will expand the California early psychosis (EP) network to include 2 additional counties and 6 university sites and use a mHealth platform to collect and integrate data on FEP clients across EP clinics and provide de-identified data to the national coordinating hub. Research capacity for the network will be tested via development and validation of a measure of the Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) that is feasible for use in community settings.
