JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep. 2016 Dec;14(12):56-63. doi: 10.11124/JBISRIR-2016-003225.

Abstract

The objective of this review is to establish whether psychoeducational programs can lead to improved outcomes (reduced relapse or readmission) in patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP) compared with usual care. Specifically, the review question is: Are psychoeducational programs for patients with first-episode psychosis effective in improving outcomes compared with those receiving usual care?
