Scientific title | Cluster randomised trial comparing outcomes of early psychosis care by a specialist team and augmented community mental health teams (CMHTs) |
Study acronym | SATS |
Study objectives | That the provision of services by specialist teams for people experiencing a first psychotic episode confers no advantage over the provision of services for first episode psychosis provided by augmented non-specialist teams |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | First episode psychosis |
Intervention | 1. Specialist Early Intervention Service - a dedicated team specialising solely in the care of first episode psychosis. The team is multiprofessional and community based, has appropriate inpatient services and would be expected to maintain contact with all first episode patients for a period of 3 years. 2. Augmented community mental health teams. These community based multiprofessional teams provide general mental health services to defined geographical catchment areas. For the purpose of the trial the service will be augmented by two whole time equivalent staff who will focus solely on the care of first episode psychosis and will be expected to maintain contact with patients for a three year period. |
