Family members play a key role in providing support and initiating care for loved ones experiencing their first episodes of psychosis (FEP)(Addington et al. 2005; Marino et al. 2015; Conus et al. 2010). Previous literature demonstrates the importance of connecting and involving family members in treatment and its impact on client outcomes (Compton 2005; Lucksted et al. 2015; Jones et al. 2019). Studies have suggested that supportive family relationships serve as a protective factor against negative experiences and expectations among Black families, and are linked to prosocial behavior and well-being (Brook and Pahl 2005; Thompson et al. 2013). In light of these findings, a recent study revealed that Black families were less likely to participate in family psychoeducation during treatment, compared to white families (Oluwoye et al. 2018). While, this study provided evidence of racial differences in family involvement during treatment, very little is known on whether establishing a connection between providers and family members of clients with FEP prior to treatment has an impact on client outcomes. Using data from the Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode-Early Treatment Program (RAISE-ETP) trial (n= 404)(Kane et al. 2015), this study explores whether family contact with a provider about psychosis prior to treatment is associated with quality of life among Black (n= 139) and white (n= 173) participants during treatment. oladunni. oluwoye@ wsu. edu;(509) 368-6805.
