Why is EDIPPP research important-to science, to schools, to communities, to families, to policymakers and to psychiatry?

These questions get at the heart of why EDIPPP was launched and why the emerging research will affect so many people.

In this series of six short podcasts, we ask some of EDIPPP's key investigators to give their perspective on why EDIPPP is important. Their insights help us understand the implications of this research on early identification, diagnosis and treatment of psychosis in young adults.
