AGREE II Appraisal of 26 Clinical Guidelines for Early Psychosis Intervention

Twenty-six international clinical practice guidelines and quality standards for early psychosis intervention were systematically reviewed and appraised using the AGREE II methodology. The review, registered on OSF, identified 32 core recommendations for clinical high-risk and first-episode psychosis populations. The dataset, a 17.8 KB DOCX file, contains the structured synthesis of these service components.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking local service models against internationally endorsed components for early psychosis care.
• Informing the development of new clinical guidelines based on a synthesis of existing recommendations.
• Identifying research gaps in guideline methodology for youth mental health services.
• Training healthcare professionals on evidence-based components for treating first-episode psychosis.

Strengths

• Systematic methodology following PRISMA 2020 guidance, with a pre-registered protocol.
• Appraises 26 distinct documents (24 CPGs and 2 QSs) using the standardized AGREE II tool.
• Identifies 32 specific, guideline-derived core recommendations for service delivery.

Limitations

• The 17.8 KB file size suggests the dataset is a document summary, not the raw extracted data tables.
• Row and column-level data are unknown; the document's internal structure must be inspected after download.
• Included documents are limited to English or Italian publications from 2005 onward, which may introduce language and recency bias.
