Role of Early Psychosis Detection in the Relationship Between Personal Income and Duration of Untreated Psychosis

What is it about?

This study reports that lower personal income results in delayed access to critically important first-episode psychosis services for young people. Further, we report that an early detection campaign that helped reduce delays for everyone had a weaker effect for those with lower income. This suggests that personal income may influence access to specialized care, and efforts should focus on addressing income-related disparities to ensure everyone can receive timely mental health support.
