The investigators are studying a jail-based intervention to reduce the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) among young adults with previously undetected first-episode psychosis who are detained in jail. Longer DUP (or treatment delay) is linked to poorer outcomes in first-episode psychosis and there is evidence that justice-involved young adults with first-episode psychosis have an alarmingly long DUP. Thus, despite the expansion of Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) programs that improve outcomes through early, multi-component care, there is a need to establish early detection services in the criminal justice system and create pathways from justice involvement to CSC. This intervention offers a novel and potentially high impact approach for reducing DUP in jail settings: a jail-based Specialized Early Engagement Support Service that receives referrals, engages detainees, and serves as a bridge to community-based CSC. The study team will design and implement the intervention, thoroughly study its feasibility and acceptability, and prepare an intervention manual for broader use in diverse jails and future formal research.
