Purpose: To examine a screen model for detecting undergraduates with higher risk for developing psychosis (HRDP). Design and Methods: A cross‐sectional design with convenience sampling was used. The screen model included exploration stage by self‐report scales and confirmation stage by face‐to‐face interviews. Findings: A total of 273 students were detected from 4744 surveys during 4 years. Of them, 120 students with HRDP were identified and 7 had been diagnosed as schizophrenia or bipolar disorders at 12‐month follow‐up. Practice Implications: This screen model can be used in early detection for undergraduates with HRDP from large general samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
