The Early Youth Engagement in first episode psychosis (EYE-2) study: pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial of implementation, effectiveness & cost effectiveness of a team-based motivational engagement intervention to improve engagement
Trial acronym: EYE-2
Description
Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services improve health outcomes for young people with severe mental illness in the medium-long term, but 25% of young people disengage in the first 12 months at significant cost to their mental health, their families, society & the NHS. Our own feasibility-pilot work clarified the issues that affect engagement. This study will now refine and test the team-based motivational Early Youth Engagement (EYE) intervention to improve engagement and outcomes for young people. A process evaluation will explore implementation across setting.
Study design: A cluster randomised controlled trial with economic evaluation
