About this study

Official title: Influence of Environmental Factors on the Prevalence, Risk and the Clinical Manifestations of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder with a lifetime prevalence of about 1 per cent, the symptoms can be very disabling and causing a heavy medical and socioeconomic.

There are significant variations from one population to another. Clinical manifestations of schizophrenia (symptoms, evolution, severity of disability) are highly variable. This variability, both epidemiological and clinical, is due to genetic and environmental factors.

Environmental factors may be either risk factors or modifying factors (changing clinical presentation but do not alter the risk of disease) for schizophrenia.

Environmental risk factors have been identified (eg: urbanity, cannabis, migration), but the investigators don't know neither the components directly responsible, nor the mechanisms by which they increase the risk of schizophrenia.

To date, there is no study has systematically evaluated the role of environmental modifying factors in schizophrenia.

Environmental factors may be individual, unique to each person (eg cannabis, migration.), or population-based (eg ethnic density, socio-economic difficulties.) The identification/ identifying of environmental risk factors or modifiers, both individual and population, may have theoretical implications (understanding of etiopathogenic mechanisms) and practical (implementation of preventive measures). The potential effectiveness of preventive measures is even greater than the risk attributable to certain environmental factors is important.

Most studies on environmental factors in schizophrenia were conducted in Anglo-Saxon countries and northern Europe, but no study of these risk factors has been conducted in France.

There are important differences environment based on study populations, these results are not generalizable to other countries, including France.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The prevalence of schizophrenia (according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV)) will be estimated from the census population-unit (unit TRIRIS INSEE)

    Measured: 56 months, From March 2014 to November 2018

  2. The frequency of populational risk factors (insecurity, disorganization and density of migrants) will be assessed from the variables of INSEE

    Measured: 56 months, From March 2014 to November 2018

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The frequency of individual risk factors (migration, cannabis, seasonality of birth, childhood trauma, social environment) will be measured from standardized assessments

    Measured: 56 months, From March 2014 to November 2018

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clinical and environmental evaluation in people with Patients With Schizophrenia and Relatives, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Franck Schürhoff, MD PhD ((0)1 49 81 30 50 ext. +33, franck.schurhoff@inserm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The prevalence of schizophrenia (according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV)) will be estimated from the census population-unit (unit TRIRIS INSEE) (time frame: 56 months, From March 2014 to November 2018). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2017.
