How Do You Want Your Voice to Be Heard?
Co-designing recommendations to increase youth participation in filling out questionnaires and other methods to share their views on their health and experiences in mental health services
Early intervention for psychosis clinics in Maryland and Pennsylvania want to know how we can improve young people’s experience of sharing their views on their health, goals, and perspectives at their early intervention clinic.
We will host a half-day workshop with 7 - 10 young people who have received services at an early intervention for psychosis clinic in Maryland or Pennsylvania in the last two years.
Together, we will design a checklist of recommendations on how to choose and use questionnaires in mental health.

School, Work, and Disability Benefits in Early Psychosis
We are conducting a project to get input from current and former CSC participants to understand more about youth and young adult decisions and experiences related to work, school, and disability benefits both while receiving early intervention services and after discharge. We are also interviewing family members of current/former CSC participants and CSC providers to get their input.
You must be aged 18 and older to participate.
Participation involves a 1-time interview (for family members and CSC providers) and both surveys and interviews at several timepoints (for CSC participants). The interviews and surveys ask about decisions related to school, work, and disability benefits while receiving CSC; people like and dislike about school/work services that are part of CSC, and ideas for how to make school/work services in CSC better.
Current and former CSC participants are compensated up to $360 for completing surveys and interviews. Family members and CSC providers are compensated $60 for completing the 1-time interview.
