Method: 1006 participants were followed up for 12 months following acceptance into EarlyIntervention in Psychosis services. Negative symptom trajectories were modelled using latent class growth analysis (LCGA) and predictors of trajectories examined using multinomial regression. Social recovery trajectories -also modelled using LCGA -of members of each negative symptom trajectory were ascertained and the relationship between negative symptom and social recovery trajectories examined. proportion of FEP patients with elevated negative symptoms at baseline will achieve remission of these symptoms within 12 months. However, elevated negative symptoms at baseline, whether or not they remit, are associated with poor social recovery, suggesting targeted interventions for service users with elevated baseline negative symptoms may help improve functional outcomes.
