Clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of tailored intensive liaison between primary and secondary care to identify individuals at risk of a first psychotic illness (the LEGs study) : a cluster- randomised controlled trial

Abstrakt

General practitioners are usually the fi rst health professionals to be contacted by people with early signs of psychosis. We aimed to assess whether increased liaison between primary and secondary care improves the clinical eff ectiveness and cost-eff ectiveness of detection of people with, or at high risk of developing, a fi rst psychotic illness.
