Brief summary in lay language

The aim of the study is to examine whether the combination of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and motivational interviewing-based adherence therapy will enable patients to more quickly and sustainably receive and maintain training, study or work in the primary labor market , It will also examined if and how attitudes and beliefs regarding mental illness and its therapies, disease-related symptoms and limitations, quality of life and substance use change as a result of treatment. It also examined the medical costs generated during the study period.

Brief summary in scientific language

Competitive employment and professional education are the expressed primary treatment goals of people with early psychosis but they have rarely access to effective vocational interventions. However, until today, there is no evidence based intervention programme which focuses on both functional and clinical recovery for people with early psychosis. Thus the aim of the present study is to evaluate an innovative intervention which focuses on functional recovery like Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and an intervention which focuses on clinical recovery like Motivational Interviewing-based Adherence Therapy (AT) combined in addition to Early Intervention (EI) in order to further improve functional and clinical recovery in young people with early psychosis with particular reference to long-acting injectable antipsychotic treatment. This study is designed as a randomised controlled trial to investigate efficacy of the combination of IPS and AT in early psychosis patients. The primary outcome criteria is functional recovery. Secondary outcomes include adherence factors like attitudes towards antipsychotic medication, symptoms and additional indicators of clinical and functional recovery. Though IPS and AT has shown good results in early psychosis, there has not been any studies, that have investigate the efficacy of the combination. IPS needs an adherent patient to achieve good results and successful integration at work or school is a main motivation for adherence therefore the combination of IPS and AT should be more effective than each intervention alone.
