This study is seeking input via online survey from people with schizophrenia and caregivers of those with schizophrenia.
The survey will ask questions about what it is like to live with schizophrenia, participant experiences with medications and other ways of managing symptoms, and what people want to see from future drug treatments. The goal of this study is to inform a future patient-focused drug development meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Who can participate
- You are aged 18* or older and either:
- An individual diagnosed with schizophrenia at least six months ago
- A caregiver of an adult with schizophrenia who cannot complete the survey on their own. It is not intended for professional, paid caregivers.
- Live in the United States
* Participants living in Alabama or Nebraska must be at least 19 years of age, and those in Mississippi or Puerto Rico must be at least 21 years of age.
