F27. LATENT PROFILES OF DEVELOPMENTAL SCHIZOTYPY IN THE GENERAL POPULATION: ASSOCIATIONS WITH CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND FAMILIAL MENTAL ILLNESS

摘要

BackgroundLatent liability for schizophrenia (schizotypy) is expressed in various combinations of cognitive, psychological, and behavioural characteristics evident in the general population. Historical models propose that distinct classes of individuals expressing different forms of schizotypy may represent manifestations of differential levels of genetic and environmental risk for schizophrenia (or related illness). However, there has been little investigation of developmental models of schizotypy in childhood. Here, we sought to delineate latent profiles of schizotypy among children aged 11–12 years, and to examine associations between emerging schizotypal profiles and parental history of mental illness (as a proxy for genetic risk), early life trauma, and childhood contact with health services for mental illness up to age 13 years.
