“…The key feature of the Mindlink model is early detection of mental illness in young people, followed by comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions. We validated the Korean versions of the Prodromal Questionnaire‐16 item (PQ‐16) (Kim, Chung, et al, 2018 ) and the Community Assessment of Psychic Experience‐Positive 15‐item (CAPE‐15) (Kim, Kim, et al, 2020 ) instruments for early detection of UHR of psychosis. We also used the Patient Health Questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9) (Spitzer et al, 1999 ) and GAD‐7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder‐7) (Spitzer et al, 2006 ) measures to mass‐screen for depression, anxiety and suicide ideation among college students.…”

Aim In many Asian countries, youth mental health services are not well‐developed and access to treatment is generally delayed. Here, we present a community‐based service model based on our experience with Mindlink, the first early‐intervention centre of its kind in Korea. Methods We describe the history of this mental health early‐intervention service and the characteristics of users, as well as its intervention programmes and research directions. We also propose ways to further develop youth mental health services. Results A community‐based early‐intervention service for youth was first introduced in 2012, when a special team was formed in a community mental health centre of Korea. As the numbers of young clients increased, a youth‐friendly, early‐intervention centre called Mindlink was opened in 2016. Mindlink targets those aged 15–30 years with mental illness less than 5 years in duration. Its goal is to detect mental illness in young people early and provide comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions. It provides intensive case management and group programmes including cognitive‐behavioural therapy, family intervention, psychoeducation, behavioural activation and physical health promotion. The Korean government has officially announced that the Mindlink model is effective and is currently in the process of scaling it up on a national level. Conclusion An accessible, youth‐friendly, stigma‐free, community mental health centre such as Mindlink allows early detection and appropriate management of mental illness in young patients.

“…There have been multiple CAPE variants depending on the language of the translation, the validation process, the target population, and what items they included (CAPE-42 or CAPE-P15). [24][25][26]41,[54][55][56] Specifically, although there is one study that validated the K-CAPE-15, consisting only of positive items and involving only young adults for analysis, 29 the present study can be further generalized as it includes a wider range of participants and all three subdomains. K-CAPE-15 conducted face-to-face clinical interviews to evaluate the diagnostic validity and determined the cutoff values for UHR detection.…”

Objective The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences has been widely translated and commonly used as a measure for psychotic experiences and psychosis proneness in clinical and research environments worldwide. This study aimed to establish the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) and factor structure of a Korean version of the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (K-CAPE) in the general population.Methods A total of 1,467 healthy participants completed K-CAPE and other psychiatric symptom-related scales (Paranoia scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Dissociative Experiences Scale-II, and Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences) via online survey. K-CAPE’s internal reliability was analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to investigate whether the original three-factor model (positive, negative, and depressive) and other hypothesized multidimensional models (including positive and negative subfactors) were suitable for our data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to explore better alternative factor solutions with a follow-up CFA. To assess convergent and discriminant validity, we examined correlations between KCAPE subscales with other established measures of psychiatric symptoms.Results K-CAPE showed good internal consistency in all original three subscales (all greater than α=0.827). The CFA demonstrated that the multidimensional models exhibited relatively better quality than the original three-dimensional model. Although the model fit indices did not reach their respective optimal thresholds, they were within an acceptable range. Results from the EFA indicated 3–5 factor solutions. In 3-factor solution, “negative-avolition” items were founded to be loaded more consistently with depressive items than with the negative dimension. In 4-factor solution, positive items were divided into two subfactors: “positive-bizarre experiences” and “positive-delusional thoughts,” while negative symptoms were separated into two distinct subfactors in 5-factor solution: “negative-avolition (expressive),” and “negative-social (experiential).” The correlation coefficients between K-CAPE subscales and corresponding measurements were significant (p<0.001), confirming the convergent and discriminant validity.Conclusion Our study provides evidence to support the reliability and validity of the K-CAPE and its use as a measure of psychotic symptoms in the Korean population. Although alternative factor structures did not improve the model fit, our EFA findings implicate the use of subfactors to investigate more specific domains of positive and negative symptoms. Given the heterogeneous nature of psychotic symptoms, this may be useful in capturing their different underlying mechanisms.

“…The CAPE-P showed good construct and discriminant validity, as well as satisfactory test-retest reliability [15][16][17]. Since its original development, the CAPE has been translated and validated in multiple large samples, in various languages and countries, including German [18], Italian [19], Swedish [20], French (in Canada [21] and France [22]), Spanish [23], Portuguese [24], Korean [25], Indonesian [26],…”

Background: While self-report questionnaires measuring psychotic experiences (PEs) in community individuals have recently been made available in the Arabic language, their length may be a barrier to PEs assessment in settings in lower-to-middle income Arab countries, that often operate under severe resources constraints. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Arabic-language version of the shortest version of the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences-Positive (CAPE-P), i.e. the CAPE-9, in a sample of community adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried-out using a web-based questionnaire. A total of 685 Arabic-speaking adults from the general population of Lebanon (mean age of 23.54 ± 4.58 years, 66.0% females) participated. Results: The internal structure of the Arabic CAPE-9 demonstrated that the overall model fit of the tridimensional factor structure (consisting of “Persecutory Ideation”, “Bizarre Experiences”, and “Perceptual abnormalities” sub-dimensions) was acceptable. A unidimensional model was tested and exhibited borderline fit indices, with all nine items loading onto one factor. Internal consistency coefficients estimates were of alpha=.84 and omega=.84 for the total score, and ranged from .64 - .70 for omega and alpha values for the three sub-scores. Measurement invariance between males and females was established for both models, with no significant difference noticed between genders. Finally, significant positive associations were found between PEs and anxiety, depression, insomnia severity, and aggression, indicating the validity of the scale. Conclusion: As a short, simple, economic, and convenient-to-administer measure of PEs, the CAPE-9 is amenable to widespread use. It has, therefore, the potential to foster research and clinical practice by easing data collection, lessening burden and enhancing engagement of respondents. It may substantially improve recognition of a substantial proportion of undetected patients with psychotic disorders, and contribute to reducing the very long duration of untreated psychosis still observed in Arab countries.
