Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will seek to explore the possibility of developing post-traumatic stress disorder following a violent offense commited, among the population of prisoners of the Bordeaux-Gradignan penitentiary center.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The overrepresentation of psychiatric disorders among prisoners has been the subject of numerous studies and the significant increase in the number of prisoners over the past 3 decades, make research in prisons a major public health issue.

Recent studies have been able to highlight an over-representation of post-traumatic stress disorder in the prison population. Leading to questionning the factors that could explain the overrepresentation of this disorder in prison with various hypotheses raised. Among these hypotheses, the possibility of developing post-traumatic stress disorder following a violent offense commited has been proposed.

The study will thus seek to explore the development of a Post-traumatic Stress Disorder following a violent act committed using the PCL-5 questionnaire

Study design :Observational, descriptive, monocentric study with completion of an anonymous self-questionnaire.

Participation in the study is voluntary and anonymous with signature of a non-opposition form.

Expected outcomes : better knowledge of this disorder in detention and a hypothesis to explain its overrepresentation. Earlier detection of this pathology in prison could thus be considered, in particular by improving the identification of people at risk according to the presence of contributing factors. More specific support and improved access to care for inmates could be considered, allowing early treatment and thus avoiding progression to other co-morbidities or risk of recidivism.
