Abbreviations: CHR, clinically high-risk individuals; GAF, Global Assessment of Functioning; HC, healthy controls; NA, not applicable; PAS, premorbid adjustment scale.

g Parental education scored as follows: 1, no schooling; 2, some primary school; 3, completed primary school; 4, some high school; 5, completed high school; 6, some college, technical school, or undergraduate education; 7, completed college, technical school, or undergraduate education; 8, some graduate or professional school; and 9, completed graduate or professional school.

h Because this was a naturalistic study, individuals were treated in their respective communities according to prevailing standards and the judgment of the treating clinicians, who were often primary care physicians rather than psychiatrists.

i χ2 Test performed within CHR group.
