Proposed outcome measures for the PRS-FEP study

Trial outcomes	Subdomains	Measures
Feasibility	Adoption	Measured by obtaining the proportion of participants who qualified for UCT and successfully received three-round cash transfers during the study period.
	Retention	Measured by obtaining the proportion of participants who completed 3 months of follow-up in the intervention and control arms.
	Assessment completion	Measured by obtaining the proportion of participants who complete the interview assessment schedule visits within 3 months of follow-up in the intervention and control arms.
	Recruitment capability	Measures the average rate of recruitment. Can 30 participants be recruited in 1 month?
Acceptability	Perception	Measured from enrollment by obtaining the proportions of patients who think the cash transfer will improve disease outcomes.
	Satisfaction	Measured by obtaining the proportion of participants who receive the cash transfer and are satisfied with it.
	Appropriateness	Measured at different stages: stage 1—if UCT is an appropriate intervention for further testing, and stage 2—if the mechanism used for cash transfer is appropriate.
Relapse	Determine the proportion of participants with readmission within 3 months of follow-up after first discharge from the hospital.
Medication adherence	Measured indirectly by using the visual analogue scale, asking the patients if they missed the pill intake for any reason or a scheduled injection. This will be validated by checking pharmacy and clinical records and pill counts.
Quality of life (family domain)	The proportion of subjective and objective family relations quality will be measured using the Lehman Quality of Life instrument.
Personal and social function	Measured by determining the proportion of individuals with various performance levels from the PSP scale. The domains include socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behaviour.
Recipient’s and family’s experiences of UCT	Explore how the UCT aims to reduce poverty and improve the mental health experienced by the recipients and families.
