The CognIFiEd Study aims to work with persons with lived experience to produce an evidence-based cognitive intervention for young adults experiencing first-episode psychosis (FEP) that is culturally acceptable and can be easily delivered within the routine clinical settings of low and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Within this project, we aim to culturally adapt an evidence-based cognitive intervention to the Nigerian context, assess its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness, and understand the challenges, barriers and facilitators that must be addressed for the successful implementation, scale-up and sustainability of the intervention. In the longer term, we will test the intervention\u2019s clinical and cost-effectiveness through a full randomised control trial (RCT) and develop strategies for its full implementation, scale-up and sustainability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
