INTREPID stands for the INTernational REsearch Programme on Psychoses In Diverse settings and its mission is to investigate psychotic disorders in 3 settings: Nigeria, India, and Trinidad.

The INTREPID II study also includes matched controls, allowing us to compare outcomes for people with psychosis with those of their peers in the same setting.
Findings from the INTREPID II programme will further our understanding of the aetiology, presentation and course of psychotic disorders across different populations. The results will inform service delivery and prevention efforts in these settings as well as for diaspora populations living in the UK |
