Pilot Testing the Check Up

Description

We propose to pilot test an adapted version of the Teen Marijuana Check Up (TMCU) for persistent cannabis users with first episode psychosis (FEP) in Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC). The adapted version of the TMCU will include tailoring to risks of persistent cannabis use in FEP, providing education on lower risk cannabis use, and adding a session to address collaborative planning to maintain CSC engagement and antipsychotic adherence and to reduce harm associated with cannabis use.
