Abstract

Whilst there is a growing body of evidence relating to the effectiveness of early detection and early intervention services there have been relatively few studies which have provided information on whether they are cost-effective. The aim of this paper is to review the cost-effectiveness evidence for early detection and early intervention in psychosis. Full economic evaluations, cost studies, and studies which do not report costs but do provide important resource use information were included in the review. All cost effectiveness analysis to date suggest that it is possible to offer help early in the development of psychosis in a cost effective manner. The potential longer term economic benefits of early detection and early intervention are required.
