Title of project:
The epidemiology & outcomes of psychosis-like symptoms in children.
Proposal summary:
There has been considerable recent interest in 'non-clinical' psychotic symptoms in adults and children. The Dunedin study, the only birth cohort to have investigated this, reported a prevalence of 14.1% in 11 year olds. There was a strong association (OR 16.4) between psychosis-like symptoms (PLIKS) in children and subsequent development of adult schizophreniform disorder, and PLIKS were also associated with other childhood developmental impairments. The Dunedin cohort was a relatively small (n=761) and low powered study. The 14,138 person ALSPAC birth cohort (now aged 11) presents a unique opportunity to investigate the nature, prevalence, and epidemiology of psychosis-like symptoms in childhood and adolescence.
