A proof of concept trial of an online psychoeducational program for relatives of both veterans and civilians living with schizophrenia.

Abstract

Online interventions for relatives of persons with schizophrenia, while feasible, present unique challenges. These include 1) assuring access to the intervention in populations who do not own a computer; 2) addressing privacy concerns; 3) overcoming the special challenges of conducting groups in real time; 4) managing emergent situations adequately; and 5) questions about efficacy.
