Validation of the Prodromal Questionnaire–Brief in a representative sample of adolescents: Internal structure, norms, reliability, and links with psychopathology

Abstract

The PQ-B is a brief, easy, and reliable tool for screening psychotic-like experiences in adolescents from the general population. The assessment of risk for psychosis and its relationship with other psychopathological risk factors in a close-in strategy or two-stage process model may help us to enhance the early identification for youths at heightened risk for serious mental disorders.
