First-rank symptoms for schizophrenia

Abstract

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of one or multiple first-rank symptoms for diagnosing schizophrenia, verified by clinical history and examination by a qualified professional (e.g. psychiatrist, nurse, social worker), with or without the use of operational criteria and checklists, in people thought to have non-organic psychotic symptoms.
