Variation in Duration of Untreated Psychosis in an 18-year perspective

摘要

BackgroundThe Scandinavian TIPS project engineered an early detection of psychosis program that sought to reduce the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) through early detection teams and extensive information campaigns since 1997. In 1997–2000, DUP was reduced from 26 to 4.5 weeks median. The program was continued beyond the initial project in modified forms for over 13 years.
