Over 4000 young people from South London secondary school students have taken part, providing detailed information, each year, on their mental health and putative risk and protective factors for mental health problems. The latest wave of data collection (Wave 7) is in progress. INTREPID is investigating variations in all aspects of psychoses in three settings in the Global South. Data has been collected from individuals with and individuals without a psychotic disorder in each setting at baseline and two-year follow up. A six year follow up will begin this year, as part of the third phase of INTREPID.
