Psychosis-Risk Outcomes Network (ProNET)

A global effort to better understand, treat, and prevent psychosis

This research project aims to increase understanding of mental health concerns in young people and how to prevent the development of a more serious mental illness such as psychosis.

We are seeking young people who are concerned about recent changes in mood, thinking or behavior.

You may be eligible for the study if you meet any of the following criteria:

  • Ages 15 - 30

  • Noticing a recent change in thinking, behavior, or experiences, such as:

    • Confusion about what is real or imaginary

    • Feeling not in control of your own thoughts of ideas

    • Feeling suspicious or paranoid

    • Having experiences that may not be real, such as hearing sounds or seeing things that may not be there

    • Having trouble communicating clearly

Time commitment and compensation: The study would entail visits over a 2-year period, and you would be paid $30 per hour for your participation. Eligible participants will be asked to come in for various assessments including:

  • clinical interviews

  • biological assessments (MRI & EEG brain scans; blood and saliva testing)

  • cognitive testing
