Toolkit for assessing and addressing cognitive health in early psychosis: Evaluation of feasibility and utility in a coordinated specialty care setting.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Methods to identify and harness individual cognitive strengths while addressing relative weaknesses have the potential to complement recovery services for first-episode psychosis but systematic implementation is needed. We developed a cognitive health toolkit, trained teams from OnTrackNY, a network of coordinated specialty care (CSC) programs and examined toolkit feasibility and clinical utility during the first year of roll-out.

Methods

The toolkit includes a clinician manual, assessment and decision-making tools, and a menu of cognitive health service options. Assessment uses the WRAT5-Reading subtest and a new Self-Assessment of Cognitive Functioning which, together, determine participant- and clinician-perceived cognitive health need. Program-level data were analyse
