Project will focus on Clinical High Risk for Psychosis (CHR-P) in Eugene, Oregon - PROJECT ABSTRACT OR-CHR-P 18 Oregon Health Authority Clinical High-Risk for Psychosis (CHR-P) Program will be implemented in Lane County, Oregon, in partnership with PeaceHealth Medical Group and the EASA Center for Excellence. This project will offer targeted community outreach and education as well as Coordinated Specialty Care to youth and young adults up to age 25 who meet the criteria for Clinical High Risk for Psychosis and are residing Lane County, Oregon. Lane County includes the University of Oregon and is a combination of rural and urban communities with a population of approximately 375,000. The program will serve 25 individuals in year one, increasing to 80 in year two and 100 in years three and four. Eligibility will be determined through administration of the Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes (SIPS) and will include individuals who are identified as having one of three diagnosable high-risk syndromes. The project will integrate expanded Clinical High-Risk services into its existing Coordinated Specialty Care team and will integrate expanded community education and outreach and a step-wise treatment decision making process and manualized treatment for individuals who are clinically high-risk for psychosis. Interventions will build on current research. The first goal of the project is to increase outreach, engagement and education to improve identification and recruitment of young adults at risk for CHR-P. This goal will be accomplished by increasing outreach contacts, creating and disseminating educational materials and establishing relationships with primary and secondary outreach locations, including Peacehealth Medical Group primary care clinics and Lane County Behavioral Health. The second goal is to develop a rapid assessment, screening and referral protocol for young adults who are clinical high-risk for psychosis. We will train community mental health providers within Lane County to administer the Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief (PQB) and provide ongoing training and support to increase rapid identification and referral. The final goal of the project is to train CHR-P clinical staff to deliver evidence-based assessments and treatments. Staff will be provided with training and ongoing supervision to administer the SIPS assessment. Relevant staff will also be provided with ongoing supervision and training in family psycho-education, cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis-risk, and the cultural-formulation interview.
