The year 2011 marked the 10-year milestone of early intervention for psychosis in Hong Kong. Since 2001, the landscape of early psychosis services has changed markedly in Hong Kong. Substantial progress has been made in the areas of early intervention service implementation, knowledge generation, and public awareness promotion. Favourable outcomes attributable to the early intervention service are supported by solid evidence from local clinical research studies; early intervention service users showed improved functioning, ameliorated symptoms, and decreased hospitalisation and suicide rates. Continued development of early intervention in Hong Kong over the decade includes the introduction and maturation of several key platforms, such as the Hospital Authority Early Assessment Service for Young People with Psychosis programme, the Psychosis Studies and Intervention Unit by the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Early Psychosis Intervention Society, the Jockey Club Early Psychosis Project, and the postgraduate Psychological Medicine (Psychosis Studies) programme. In this paper, we reviewed some of the major milestones in local service development with reference to features of the Hong Kong mental health system. We describe chronologically the implementation and consolidation of public early intervention services as well as recent progresses in public awareness work that are tied in with knowledge generation and transfer, and outline the prospects for early intervention in the next decade and those that follow.
2011年是香港精神病早期干预的10周年里程碑。自2001年以来，香港早期精神病服务的格局发生了显著变化。在早期干预服务实施、知识生成和公众意识提升等方面取得了实质性进展。本地临床研究的可靠证据支持了早期干预服务带来的良好结果；早期干预服务使用者的功能得到改善，症状减轻，住院率和自杀率下降。过去十年香港早期干预的持续发展包括几个关键平台的引入和成熟，如医院管理局青少年精神病早期评估服务计划、香港大学精神病研究与干预组、香港早期精神病干预协会、赛马会早期精神病项目以及精神科医学（精神病研究）研究生课程。在本文中，我们参照香港精神卫生系统的特点，回顾了本地服务发展的一些主要里程碑。我们按时间顺序描述了公共早期干预服务的实施和巩固，以及与知识生成和传播相关的公众意识工作的最新进展，并概述了未来十年及之后早期干预的前景。
