Adapting the First Episode Psychosis Services Fidelity Scale in Asia: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Singapore's Early Psychosis Intervention Programme
This study demonstrates EPIP's strong adherence to evidence-based practices while highlighting areas for improvement, particularly in resource allocation and documentation. The findings underscore the need for culturally sensitive adaptations of fidelity measures and innovative solutions to address challenges in early psychosis services within Asian healthcare systems. Future research should focus on developing structured documentation systems that balance standardisation with personalised care and explore strategies to enhance metabolic health interventions and substance use management in the local context.
