PRIME

 

 

 

 

Prevention through Risk Identification, Management, and Education.

We are part of the University of North Carolina's School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, NC.  The program has been established to better understand the causes, course, and treatment of "clinical high-risk symptoms." Participation in the research program offers opportunities to discuss concerns about these symptoms and to have symptoms fully evaluated and monitored over time.  If you are not eligible or do not want to participate in our research program we will be able to provide you with the results of our initial evaluation, address your questions and, if indicated, help you get treatment.
