Associations between PTSD and psychotic symptoms
Introduction: Individuals with psychosis often endorse a history of trauma, yet the symptom-level interplay between trauma-related and psychotic symptoms is understudied globally and largely absent in Sub-Saharan Africa. We used network analysis to examine associations within and between these domains. Methods: We conducted a network analysis of 807 participants with a psychotic disorder and trauma history in the Ugandan cohort of the NeuroGAP-Ps…

The relationship between lifetime trauma exposure and psychosis in a multi-country case-control study in Africa

There are little data on the relationship between traumatic events and psychosis in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in large, cross-country samples using the same instrument. Methods: In a case-control study, 21,606 adults were recruited with psychosis (cases) and 21,329 adults without any …
Cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) to screen for depression in southwestern Madagascar
There have been no culturally validated measures to screen for depression in Madagascar. In 2022–2023, we conducted qualitative studies in the Bay of Ranobe area in southwestern Madagascar to understand local mental health syndromes specific to this region. We found that the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) shares symptoms with the general distress-like, depressive-like and grief-like syndromes elicited locally. We adapted the PHQ-8 to…
Trauma, risk, and resilience
The Liberian civil wars led to widespread destruction and devastation for its individuals, communities, and economy. However, individuals' subjective trauma experiences and long-term psychological impact remain relatively understudied.
