The challenge of cost-effectiveness research on first-episode psychosis

Robert Rosenheck. Br J Psychiatry. 2019 Jul.

Abstract

Early intervention in psychosis has generated hope. Cost-effectiveness studies, to determine whether benefits exceed costs, thus far conclude only that early intervention 'might be' worth its costs. It is a testament to the importance of the question: even in the absence of conclusive data, a synthesis should be attempted.Declaration of interestNone.

Keywords: Early intervention; cost-effectiveness; schizophrenia.
