Key highlights: INTREPID II is the first multicountry research programme in four decades to investigate untreated psychotic disorders specifically within the Global South, including India, Nigeria, and Trinidad. It utilizes a multipronged case-finding approach that engages traditional and religious healers to ensure representative cohorts for studying the incidence, clinical outcomes, and social impacts of psychosis, filling a gap by fousing on comparable epidemiological data.
