Prevalence and correlates of school drop-out prior to initial treatment of nonaffective psychosis: Further evidence suggesting a need for supported education

Abstract: Background-Because dropping out of high school (i.e., secondary education) contributes prominently to numerous social, economic, and health conditions, formal public health initiatives promoting population health and social justice, especially in at-risk populations, are increasingly encouraged to address high school drop-out. The relative dearth of research attention on school dropout prior to first treatment contact in young adults with psychotic disorders indicates a need for investigation of the associatio… Show more

“…Indeed, when examining the rate of employment in the closest demographic group within the region, African American males aged 20-24 years, the employment rate was just over 50%. Similarly, the rate of high school non-completion is 2-3 times the expected rate, based on regional data [26]. This interpretation of the data is in line with the assertion of Marwaha and Johnson [6] that rates of employment among individuals with serious mental illnesses are driven partly by societal factors, in addition to individual ones.…”

“…Second, in addition to the restricted clinical profile of our sample, study participants were primarily urban, low-income, and socially disadvantaged African Americans, by virtue of the treatment settings where our study was conducted. Sociodemographic characteristics of this sample are consistent with those of a previous independent sample of 109 hospitalized first-episode patients recruited from the primary site (Compton et al, 2009; Compton et al, 2010a; Compton et al, 2010b; Goulding et al, 2010; Compton et al, 2011a; Compton et al, 2011b; Ramsay et al, 2011b). Given the specific nature of our sample, factor invariance across more diverse samples should be established, as well as reliability and validity in a broader patient population.…”

“…Adjusted models revealed that learning difficulties in particular (repeating class, not completing school, and psychological treatment due to learning difficulties) have already been present in early life in those who were subsequently diagnosed with psychosis (Maydell et al, 2009;Goulding et al, 2010). These earlier problems directly increased the probability for subsequent psychosis by two to three times -significantly more than for any other diagnostic category.…”
