The Naming Project: Renaming Schizophrenia


 

One in 100 people worldwide experience a condition called schizophrenia. There is widespread disagreement regarding what should be the appropriate name for this condition. Raquelle Mesholam-Gately, PhD, Matcheri Keshavan, MD, the Consumer Advisory Board, and associated members of the research team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are conducting a study about renaming schizophrenia.

They are requesting your opinion on this matter. If you choose to be in the study, you will complete this survey, which will take 5 to 10 minutes. The survey is anonymous, and no one will be able to link your answers back to you. Please do not include your name or other information that could be used to identify you in the survey responses. Participation in this study is voluntary.
