June 12, 2024 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Translation and Validation in French of a Child Psychotrauma Identification Scale - the CATS (Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen)

Child psychotraumatism and complex psychotraumatism, mainly consecutive to child maltreatment, is a major unaddressed public health issue.

The investigators aim to translate and validate a screening scale to help professionals to better detect and refer children at risk of psychotraumatism.

This study aims to validate the psychometric properties of a french version of the CATS 2.0, in partnership with the original authors of the scale.
