Protocol for evaluation of iTEST, a novel blended intervention to enhance introspective accuracy in psychotic disorders.

ABSTRACT: Poor introspective accuracy (IA), defined as inaccurate judgments of one's abilities and performance, is a strong and independent predictor of functional impairment in people with psychotic disorders. However, there are currently no treatments that directly target IA in this population as a primary outcome. We describe a protocol for a clinical trial to test a newly developed blended digital intervention, Improving Thinking through Everyday SelfAssessment Training (iTEST), aimed at improving IA in people with psychotic disorders to improve functional outcomes. iTEST involves daily training consisting of feedback on IA in mobile cognitive tests, coupled with individual coaching that applies improved IA to participant-identified recovery goals.
