Computerized Assessment of Psychosis-Risk (CAPR)
An ongoing study, recruiting both healthy individuals and those experiencing clinical risk signs. The goal is to better understand how unusual thoughts may impact the way individuals complete different tasks that could be developed into screening tools to use in the community for mental health. Another goal is to provide more understanding about how various aspects of cognitive functioning may be impacted and to develop new ways to improve symptoms and cognitive functioning.
You will be asked to complete computerized tasks, interviews, and pen and paper questionnaires. The research study will be ongoing for about 2 years.
About the Study:
- Participants are asked to complete a clinical interview, a series of online questionnaires, and a battery of computerized tasks.
