The Impact

BackgroundSocial functioning (SF) difficulties are ubiquitous among individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR), but it is not yet clear why. One possibility is suggested by the observation that effective SF requires adaptive emotion awareness and regulation. Previous reports have documented deficits in emotion awareness and regulation in individuals with schizophrenia, and have shown that such deficits predicted SF. However, it is unknown whether these deficits are present prior to the onset of psychosis or whether they are linked to SF in CHR individuals.MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional comparison of emotion awareness and regulation in 54 individuals at CHR, 87 with schizophrenia and 50 healthy controls (HC). Then, within the CHR group, we examined links between emotion awareness, emotion regulation and SF as indexed by the Global Functioning Scale: Social (Cornblatt et al. 2007).ResultsGroup comparisons indicated significant differences between HC and the two clinical groups in their ability to identify and describe feelings, as well as the use of suppression and reappraisal emotion-regulation strategies. Specifically, the CHR and schizophrenia groups displayed comparable deficits in all domains of emotion awareness and emotion regulation. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that difficulties describing feelings accounted for 23.2% of the SF variance.ConclusionsThe results indicate that CHR individuals display substantial emotion awareness and emotion-regulation deficits, at severity comparable with those observed in individuals with schizophrenia. Such deficits, in particular difficulties describing feelings, predate the onset of psychosis and contribute significantly to poor SF in this population.

Two Phases

Background: Youth at clinical high-risk (CHR) for developing psychosis are characterized by long-standing social deficits and isolation compared to healthy youth. Because poor social functioning is predictive of transition to psychosis, it is important to monitor its fluctuations. Objective: To describe the development of a mobile application to monitor social functioning for CHR youth. Methods: App development was divided in two phases. In Phase 1, three focus groups with up to 10 CHR participants were conducted to discuss (i) content, (ii) graphic design, and (iii) user experience of the app. A working prototype was developed, debugged, and systematically tested by developers. In Phase 2, 13 participants evaluated the app through a usability testing for one week. Feedback was gathered through the 23-item Mobile Application Rating Scale user-version (uMARS). Focus groups and MARS’ qualitative data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed through an inductive approach. Results: The app was named SOMO and incorporated five features: 1) home screen; 2) goal setting; 3) 13 daily questions; 4) a calendar; and 5) feedback.  The application monitored number of daily in-person and online interactions, meaningfulness and time spent with each person, conflict and conflict resolution, activities performed, subjective perception of socialization, and loneliness. SOMO received a good overall score in the uMARS, with an excellent score in functionality; followed by good scores in information, aesthetics, and safety; and adequate scores for subjective quality, and engagement. Conclusion: Co-design with youth through focus groups provided effective feedback for developing SOMO, which demonstrated initial usability and acceptability.

Abstract Background Youth at clinical high-risk (CHR) for developing psychosis are characterized by long-standing social deficits and isolation compared to healthy youth. Because poor social functioning is predictive of transition to psychosis, it is important to monitor its fluctuations. Objectives: 1) To test initial usability of an app (SOMO); and 2) to confirm that SOMO is acceptable, feasible, and safe to monitor daily social functioning among youth at clinical high-risk (CHR) for developing psychosis. Methods Participants: 24 CHR participants (12–30 years old) used SOMO for 2 months to test its initial feasibility to monitor social functioning. Measures: 1) SOMO comprises 13 daily questions regarding social interactions in-person or online covering: type of relationship, time spent together, quality of the interaction, activities done, conflict and resolution, meaningfulness of the interaction, subjective opinion of the socialization, and level of loneliness. 2) Social functioning was assessed with the Social Functioning Scale (GF:S), which assesses peer relationships, peer conflict, age-appropriate intimate relationships, and involvement with family members. 3) Qualitative data of the SOMO was gathered through the 23-item Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) covering questions about engagement, functionality, aesthetics, information provided, and subjective quality of SOMO. Analyses. a) Descriptive information of 1) usability data (i.e., loggings, social relationships, ad meaningfulness) and 2) the app quality ratings (i.e., engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information) was collected. Results There were 750 loggings over the 2-month testing period, with 50% of participants logging in at least every other day. Participants had 690 in-person interactions and 497 online interactions. The most meaningful interactions were considered the ones with their partner, followed by interactions with friends, casual friends, family, others and strangers in-person respectively. Participants reported conflict in 18.2% of their interactions. SOMO obtained a high overall score on the MARS (M=4.38). Ratings for engagement (M=3.91), functionality (M=4.54), aesthetics (M=4.56), information (M=4.51), subjective score (M=3.89), and perceived impact in behavior (M=3.52) were higher than other relevant mHealth apps. All participants rated SOMO as safe. Social functioning did not change significantly after using SOMO. Discussion SOMO demonstrated initial acceptability, feasibility, and safety among CHR participants.
