forest model with sociocultural and clinical variables as features to

train the models.

Results

Both classification models performed similarly in iden-

tifying suicide attempters and non-attempters. Our regularized

logistic regression model demonstrated an accuracy of 66% and an

area under the curve (AUC) of 0.71, while the random forest model

demonstrated 65% accuracy and an AUC of 0.67.

Conclusion

Machine learning algorithms offer a relatively suc-

cessful method for incorporating many clinical features to predict

individuals at risk for future suicide attempts. Increased perfor-

mance of these models using clinically relevant variables offers the

potential to facilitate early treatment and intervention to prevent

future suicide attempts.

Introduction

Wellness self-management is an adaptation and

expansion of the illness management and recovery, an interna-

tionally recognized best practice. WSM is a recovery-oriented,

curriculum-based practice designed to help adults with severe

mental health problems make decisions and take action to manage

symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Objectives

In the present study, the Italian translation of the

WSM was implemented and validated. Moreover, the impact of its

application in a day hospital setting on cognitive functions, psy-

chopathology, personal resources and real-life functioning with

respect to treatment as usual (TAU) was investigated.

Aims

The study was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a

semi-structured version ofWSMin a day hospital setting in patients

with severe mental illness.

Methods

Fourteen patients with a diagnosis of severe mental ill-

ness were recruited and randomly assigned to either WSM or TAU.

WSM participants attended four 2-hour sessions per week for 1

month, including lessons selected on the basis of the goals of par-

ticipants. Both groups received weekly planned treatment in the

day-hospital setting and continued their pharmacotherapy.

Results

The two groups of patients were comparable for age,

education, cognitive functioning and psychopathological severity.

WSMproduced a significantly greater improvement in neurocogni-

tion, psychopathology, personal resources and real-life functioning

with respect to TAU.

Conclusions

Our results offer promising preliminary evidence

that the use of WSM provides an effective complement to current

mental health treatment.

Introduction

An impairment of premorbid adjustment (PA) has

been regarded among poor prognostic indicators of schizophre-

nia. Some discrepancies in the literature suggest the usefulness of

further characterizations of its impact on different aspects of the

disease.

Aims

The present study aimed to investigate the association

of poor PA with psychopathology, neurocognition and real-life

functioning in patients with schizophrenia recruited within the

multicenter study of the Italian network for research on psychoses.

functioning during childhood and adolescence (early adjustment)

was assessed also in a group of healthy controls (HC) and one of

unaffected relatives of patients (UR).

Methods

Group comparisons were performed between patients

with poor and those with good PA. Differences in frequency of

poor early adjustment were investigated among patients, HC and

UR.

Results

Patientswithpoor PA, as compared to thosewith good PA,

showed earlier age of onset, more severe negative symptoms and

disorganization, greater impairment on all cognitive domains with

the exception of attention/vigilance andworse real-life functioning

in the considered areas (interpersonal relationships, community

activities and work abilities). The pattern of poor early adjustment

was more frequent in patients with respect to UR and HC and, to a

less degree, in UR with respect to HC.

Conclusions

Our findings confirm that poor PA in schizophre-

nia is associated with poorer illness outcome, and offer a further

characterization of PA impact on different psychopathological and

cognitive domains. They also suggest that poor early adjustment is

a candidate endophenotype of schizophrenia, occurring in patients

and their unaffected relatives.
