Very few research projects describe the clinical routines and every day treatment procedures, and correlate these to the outcome.

Objectives:

To determine the possible correlation between continuity of treatment and compliance and to register its impact on psychopathology and social functioning.

Method:

Patients with first episode of F2 diagnosis in The Danish National Schizophrenia Project (N= 269) were consecutively included during a two years period to be followed up for five years. Data were collected concerning social functioning, psychopathology, continuity of relationship in treatment, treatment conditions, medication, psychotherapy, compliance and social support and training.

Results:
