[Early diagnosis of schizophrenia].
Efforts to achieve early detection of and timely intervention in incipient psychotic conditions are characteristic of an extremely innovative area of schizophrenia research over the last ten years or more. Within the Competency Network on Schizophrenia, the Early Recognition Inventory, ERIraos was developed and tested with the aim of identifying persons at an elevated risk of developing a psychosis, and providing them with timely treatment. In this study, the early diagnostic work-up and intervention were performed at the early intervention centers located in Bonn, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Munich. The initial results regarding transition to a psychosis based on 1 year follow-up data are now available.The outcomes of these analyses form the basis for the revision of the Early Recognition Inventory, with the aim of bringing it into line with the requirements met with in practice.
