Following consultation with researchers, clinicians & people with expertise by experience we revised the Fear of Recurrence Scale to be more comprehensive with strong focus on supporting users’ intervention preferences. This study will help us explore content validity essential for future research ❤️
📢 Have you, or someone you know, experienced psychosis and felt worried about relapse?

We’re looking to speak with people in Scotland who have lived experience of psychosis and worry about relapse. Help us better understand fear of relapse and support those who experience it.
