Motivation for Work and School

This study aims to examine several factors previously found related to work and school outcomes in recent onset schizophrenia such as stigma and family support, and to determine barriers and facilitators of motivation for work and school. This study will begin to fill the gaps in the literature surrounding both the impact of schizophrenia on, and the factors related to motivation to return to work and school in first episode schizophrenia. This study will further examine a potentially rich area for early clinical intervention promoting functional recovery, which may contribute to the decrease of the high unemployment rates found post first episode.

THE INTERVENTION

This cross-sectional, mixed methods study involves an assessment lasting approximately one hour and fifteen minutes including: 45 minutes of clinician-rated and self-report measures including demographics, a brief cognitive measure, a psychiatric symptom assessment, and questionnaires obtaining level of parental support, experience of stigma, and psychosocial functioning and a brief semi-structured interview.
