Early detection of psychosis: finding those at clinical high risk.

Aim: In early detection work, recruiting individuals who meet the prodromal criteria is difficult. The aim of this paper was to describe the development of a research clinic for individuals who appear to be at risk of developing a psychosis and the process for educating the community and obtaining referrals.

Methods: The outcome of all referrals to the clinic over a 4-year period was examined.

However, there is little data regarding the patterns of use and effectiveness of freely available Web-based interventions outside the context of controlled trials.
