PIPs Study
Am I Eligible?
Participants with schizophrenia will be recruited via clinics, but you may be able to be one of our general community participants!
The PIPs study has certain criteria that a participant needs to meet. This allows us to accurately assess the brain changes in both people with schizophrenia and those without schizophrenia.
Please see below for the criteria you will need to meet to take part:
Fluent in verbal and written English
18 to 40 years old
No current major psychiatric condition
No history of a psychotic disorder
No metal in the body, or piercings / braces that cannot be removed
No History of seizure in the past 12 months
No History of significant head injury in the past 12 months
Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
No generalised inflammatory condition or disease
If you have a blood relative that has a diagnosed psychotic disorder, we are also very interested in you taking part!
