The Staglin Music
Festival Center for the Assessment and Prevention of Prodromal
States (CAPPS)
is a research clinic
associated with the departments of Psychology and Psychiatry & Biobehavioral
Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles. CAPPS
is funded by the Staglin Music Festival for Mental Health,
the nation’s leading charity event aimed at finding ways
to treat and ultimately cure mental illness through brain research,
and grants from the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH). The CAPPS research center works with individuals between
the ages of 12 and 35 who might be at risk for developing
a thought disorder.
The purpose of CAPPS is:
- To develop a knowledge base for
the prediction of future thought disorders in adolescents
and
young adults who have
symptoms that may signal the early stage of such a condition;
- And to understand how brain functioning
changes over time in people who develop such conditions
as compared
to those
who do not.
