Documentation of Psychosis Risk Screening in Same-Day Adolescent Behavioural Health Consultations.

Plumb JA. Early Intervention in Psychiatry 2026;20(7):e70214.

[Adding psychosis screening questions to a youth clinic’s consultation template resulted in documented screening in only 28% of visits. When clinicians directly asked about psychosis (14% of consultations), 20% identified at least one psychosis risk indicator, including three patients with previously unrecognised concerns. Findings suggest that routine, direct psychosis enquiry can improve early identification, but screening remains underused in practice.]

New Resource: The mark of co-production

Co-production involves people coming together as equals to make decisions and create services that work for them. This new co-produced resource supports anyone interested in planning, running, or evaluating a co-production project. It outlines the definitions, celebrates the approach, and explores how projects can aim for the highest levels of co-production.

The tool is grouped into four key stages of co-production:

  1. Planning
  2. Process
  3. Completing, sharing, celebrating
  4. Review

Developed from work with adults’ social care, the core principles can be adapted to support practice with young people and more.

The resource is most effective when used to support reflection by all involved in a co-production project – including members of the public, practitioners, researchers, or managers.
