“…All participants reported at least moderate levels of negative symptoms at baseline, so it is unclear whether these findings would be replicated in participants with lower negative symptoms. In addition, most participants reported a long duration of illness, which may be an issue given the impact of symptoms on SQOL is more prominent in the early stages of illness (Browne et al, 2000). In this study no significant difference was detected between participants with a long and short illness duration.…”

“…46 A longer duration of untreated psychosis is correlated with a worse QoL, [47][48][49] worse treatment outcome 50 and worse prognosis. 6 QoL tends to be lower where people with psychosis are single, 51 have psychiatric co-morbidity, 51 poor premorbid adjustment, 49 longer duration of psychotic symptoms 49 and poor social relations and finances. 52 From a service user's perspective, being an NHS inpatient has been described as "horrible, scary, surviving the system, institutionalised, feeling strange, labelled, used in experiments, no choice".…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as royal colleges and NHS trusts. These sugges...

For example, QoL in early psychosis has been found to be related most significantly to depression [35], anxiety [32], general psychopathology and negative symptoms of psychosis [6]. However, there is less evidence of a relationship between QoL and positive psychotic symptoms [16].…”
