(2012) and included: 1) meeting criteria for at least one of three prodromal syndromes using the SIPS/SOPS; 2) no current or lifetime Axis I psychotic disorder; 3) IQ greater than 70 (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale [WAIS] or Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children [WISC] only administered if low IQ suspected); and 4) no current or past CNS disorder (medical or psychiatric) which may account for prodromal symptoms.

There were no group × gender interactions or gender main effects for any of the SOPS subscales. Notably, the SOPS negative symptoms were highly comparable to what has been reported for a larger cohort (Piskulic et al., 2012), as deterioration in role function was most prominent (with 81% of the current CHR patients reporting a score of 3 or higher), followed
