Designing Youth Early Intervention in Psychosis Services: A Secondary Framework Synthesis of Organisational Recommendations

Aim

Early intervention in psychosis (EIP) is increasingly framed as a youth-oriented model of care, but its translation into reproducible service structures remains uneven across healthcare systems. Although clinical practice guidelines and quality standards address clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) and first-episode psychosis (FEP), their organisational recommendations have received limited focused synthesis. This study examined the service-architecture recommendations embedded in international early psychosis guidance.
