2.2. Clinical Assessment
MDD, CPTSD, P7–P9, PTSD
The ITQ is a self-reported short and simply-worded measure, focusing on the key symptoms of PTSD and complex-PTSD (CPTSD). The total_ITQ score is composed of a PTSD score and a Disturbances in Self-Organization (DSO) score. The PTSD score is a Likert scale composed of 6 items (P1–P6); the P1 and P2 items represent the re-experiencing-in-the-here-and-now score, P3 and P4 the avoidance score, and P5 and P6 the sense of a current threat. The DSO score is a Likert scale also composed of 6 items (C1–C6); C1 and C2 represent affective dysregulation, C3 and C4 negative self-perception, and C5 and C6 disturbances in relationships. The functional impact of these symptoms was also measured using the sum of the P7–P9 and C7–C9 items of the ITQ (functional_ITQ).The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is composed of 9 items on a Likert scale, assessing symptoms of MDD. Each participant was accompanied by a volunteer of the charity. For the non- or partial-French-speaking migrants, the volunteer translated, or at least helped the participant understand the inclusion interview.
