Background:

Gender differences are often ignored in clinical research and as such undervalued as a treatment factor. In FEP-patients, female gender is associated with better social function and a higher degree of compliance, while males seem to exhibit more negative symptoms and a higher degree of abuse.

Objectives:

To evaluate whether gender differences ought to result in gender specific treatment interventions.

Methods:

A subgroup of 140 persons (93 men and 47 women) included in the DNS and received treatment as usual (TAU) plus individual or group psychotherapy intervention. This group was analyzed according to gender and possible variations in the expression of psychopathology, drug consumption and abuse. Results of treatment and social function expressed by PANSS, Strauss-Carpenter and GAF were compared.

Results:

Data from baseline and 2 years follow-up of this group will be presented with focus on gender issues.

Conclusions:

Various gender differences were confirmed in the study. As a consequence a number of gender specific interventions are suggested.
