This Research Topic is part of our Regional Perspectives series. Other regionally focused collections in this series will be added soon.
With rapid progress being made around the world in the identification of individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) (Ultra High Risk; At Risk Mental States) for psychosis, there is now hope that serious psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia can be mitigated with early intervention strategies. There are several large early psychosis initiatives currently being conducted worldwide, including in North America.
The goal of this current Research Topic is to present the latest developments in research into clinical, cognitive, biological, cultural, and social aspects of CHR samples from the North American perspective. As part of a series of regionally focused Research Topics in this field, this ultimately represents an exciting opportunity to compare findings of CHR projects around the world.
We invite the following types of submissions: systematic review; meta-analysis; new data; or a data-driven conceptual piece or hypothesis. We particularly encourage submissions from authors who are investigators from CHR programs or who play a role in multiple CHR projects. Submissions should cover comprehensive CHR domains such as, but not limited to:
• demographics
• clinical characteristics
• risk calculators
• cognitive features
• biomarkers in neuroimaging
• biochemistry
• genetics
• cultural variability.
