I need to know the results of the CATIE study on schizophrenia.  I
would like to know what the preliminary results are, if any startling
news has come out, and when the results are expected to be published. 
If possible I would like any web pages which describe the results of
the study.  The official title of the study is "Comparative
Effectiveness of Antipsychotic Medications in Patients with
Schizophrenia (CATIE Schizophrenia Trial)" and is supposed to be
published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Archive of
General Psychiarty but I havent found anything mentioning the
preliminary results.  Thanks.

The CATIE website says:

"We expect that the initial results of the schizophrenia study will be
published in the summer of 2005.  Results will not be released until
the time of publication."

Is this information sufficient to answer your question?  If so, please
let me know, so that I may post it as an answer.

Can you find out about where it is being published?  Is it going to be
published in the New England Journal of Medicine or the Archive of
General Psych, or some other Journal? Thanks

Hello gregoryew,

This press release from two weeks ago states, "Results are expected to
be published in the New England Journal of Medicine in August, 2005." 
The press release primarily concerns a continuing education program
that will discuss the CATIE results.

Real-World Treatment Decisions about Schizophrenia: The CATIE Trial'
