This paper provides the rationale and design of the European Prediction of Psychosis Study (EPOS), the first European prospective transnational field study of the prodrome and moderating risk/resilience factors of psychosis. As different health systems provide different structures of care, prevention programmes will only be successfully implemented and sustained system-wide, if they can be adapted to the system's special opportunities and needs. EPOS will provide a sound data base for a future evidence-based prevention of psychosis. Data on the recruitment of subjects and on the distribution of the four clinical criteria for an at-risk mental state for psychosis are given.
本文提供了欧洲精神病预测研究(EPOS)的基本原理和设计,该研究是欧洲首个针对精神病前驱期和调节风险/恢复因素的前瞻性跨国实地研究。由于不同的卫生系统提供不同的护理结构,如果预防计划能够适应系统的特殊机会和需求,那么它们才能在整个系统中得到成功实施和维持。EPOS 将为未来基于证据的精神病预防提供可靠的数据库。本文提供了关于研究对象招募情况和四种精神病风险精神状态临床标准分布情况的数据。
