A Geospatial Analysis of Early Psychosis Intervention Programs in Toronto, Canada: Une analyse geospatiale des programmes d'intervention precoce en cas de psychose a Toronto, au Canada.

ABSTRACT: ObjectivesEarly psychosis intervention (EPI) programs play a crucial role in detecting and treating psychosis early, yet disparities in access persist. This study aimed to assess the spatial accessibility of EPI programs in Toronto, Canada, and to explore the association between access and indicators of neighbourhood-level marginalization.MethodsWe conducted a geospatial analysis using floating catchment area and two-step floating catchment area methods, examining EPI program locations, census population estimates for the 158 Toronto neighbourhoods, and area-level marginalization data. Spatial regression models were used to estimate the association between marginalization factors and spatial accessibility.ResultsOn average, the closest EPI program is 4 km away from the centre of any given
