Correlates of future violence in people being treated for schizophrenia

American Journal of Psychiatry Apr 29, 2019

Buchanan A, et al. - For the first time, researchers investigated correlates of violence among individuals with schizophrenia in a longitudinal multivariable analysis. In all, they examined 1,435 individuals with schizophrenia who participated in the National Institute of Mental Health’s Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness study and were followed for 18 months. Researchers identified 77 participants who reported engagement in injurious violence during follow-up, and 119 who engaged in exclusively non-injurious violence. Future injurious violent behavior could be simultaneously strongly related to baseline injurious violence and recent violent victimization, according to findings. Poor medication adherence was the clinical variable that significantly predicted injurious violence. Treatment strategies should, therefore, stress medication adherence to lessen risk, noted the authors.
