Answer to Question 1

High-risk research studies a group of people who are thought to have greater-than-average vulnerability to develop a disorder. In schizophrenia research, children with a strong family history of schizophrenia are studied throughout their development, to assess which children develop the disorder and which factors may be associated with this development. Because of the extremely low base rate of schizophrenia, such high-risk research allows a more efficient use of resources.
