| Social and role functioning have been determined to be risk factors and an outcome of interest for individuals who develop a psychotic disorder. Less is known about the nature of functioning for individuals at-risk for a psychotic disorder. The current study examined the contribution of psychosis-risk symptoms to social and role functioning using multiple measures of functioning in a treatment-seeking sample of adolescents and young adults. Results of multiple regression analyses indicate that psychosis-risk symptoms contribute differentially to functioning based on the type of functioning (social and role), as well as the measure of functioning. Using an increased understanding of risk and general psychopathology to predict functioning within psychosis-risk samples may also provide valuable information that could aid early identification efforts to improve long-term functional outcomes, delay, or prevention of psychosis. |
