Critical review and summary of information about the effects and safety of second-generation antipsychotic medications: II
Excerpt
For this update to the WPA Technical Review of Evidence and Recommendations on the Use and Usefulness of Second-Generation Antipsychotic Medications, the scientific literature from January 2000 to March 2002 was searched for clinical studies of antipsychotic drug treatment. As mentioned earlier, suggestions concerning papers to be reviewed, in both 2001/2002 and previous years, were also received from the institutions and experts consulted individually and through the mechanisms of national review meetings. Reports that were found to be relevant to the scope of this review and of sufficient methodological rigour were selected for inclusion in this Update.
