Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to prioritize real-time outcomes from the perspective of patients with schizophrenia. Thirty-eight patients were interviewed and ranked 15 outcome domains according to their preference for communicating these outcomes with their mental health provider in the context of a real-time outcomes feedback laboratory. Subjects with schizophrenia ranked overall physical health as the most important outcome domain that they wanted to communicate to their mental health provider in the context of a real-time outcomes feedback laboratory. The ranking of physical health as the most important outcome domain was true for subjects regardless of total psychosis symptom severity, positive symptom severity, age, or level of insight. Outcomes feedback interventions for patients with schizophrenia should include physical health problems in addition to the usual mental health parameters.
