Digital mental health intervention for schizophrenia spectrum and psychotic disorders: Protocol for a pragmatic feasibility study of Horyzons-Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders (SSPD) are among the most debilitating of all mental disorders. While the evidence for psychosocial interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and peer support has significantly improved, access to these services remains limited. This paper describes a protocol for a pragmatic feasibility study of a digital mental health intervention (HoryzonsCa) that provides access to evidence-based psychosocial interventions, social networking, and clinical and peer support services through a secured, web-based platform for adults diagnosed with SSPD.

Objective

The objectives are: (1) Adapt and translate HoryzonsCa for implementation in English and French; (2) Develop an implementation and training strategy; (3) Asses
