Social functioning in young people at risk for schizophrenia 60th Annual Convention of the Society-of-Biological-Psychiatry Ballon, J. S., Kaur, T., Marks, I. I., Cadenhead, K. S. ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD. 2007: 29–35

Abstract

Deficits in social functioning are potential risk factors for schizophrenia. Social functioning was assessed in 55 individuals "at risk" for schizophrenia, 16 first episode patients with schizophrenia and 45 normal comparison subjects. The Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents (SAICA) was administered to adolescents <18 and the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS-SR) to young adults >17. The at risk and first episode groups significantly differed from the normal subjects on measures of social functioning in the domains of peer, family, work and school relationships. Individuals at risk for schizophrenia have significant functional deficits which may be potential indicators of increased vulnerability for psychosis.
