Purpose: To examine a screen model for detecting undergraduates with higher risk for developing psychosis (HRDP).
Design and methods: A cross-sectional design with convenience sampling was used. The screen model included exploration stage by self-report scales and confirmation stage by face-to-face interviews.
Findings: A total of 273 students were detected from 4744 surveys during 4 years. Of them, 120 students with HRDP were identified and 7 had been diagnosed as schizophrenia or bipolar disorders at 12-month follow-up.
Practice implications: This screen model can be used in early detection for undergraduates with HRDP from large general samples.
Keywords: early detection; high risk for psychosis; screen model; undergraduates.
