Inequality and barriers in psychosis prevention: A systematic review on clinical high-risk for psychosis studies from developing countries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR) paradigm is one of the best studied preventive paradigms in psychiatry. However, most studies have been conducted in high-income countries.

Our aim is to systematically review studies on CHR from LAMIC.

Methods

A multistep PRISMA-compliant literature search was performed in PubMed and Web of Science for articles published until 1/03/2022, conducted in LAMIC, addressing the concept and correlates of CHR. Study characteristics as well as limitations were reported. Corresponding authors of the included studies were invited to answer an online poll. Quality asse
