Translation and Validation of the Children and Adolescent Trauma Screen in French

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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.

| Clinical population<br>250 children aged from 7 to 17 will be recruited in 6 clinical departments (child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic medicine, psychotraumatism centers) They will complete the CATS scale as well as the SCARED (Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Disorders). Their parents will also complete the CATS and the SDQ (Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire) to assess convergent and divergent validity. | Procedure: CATS scale<br>* During the inclusion visit (J0), enrolled children will complete the CATS scale as well as the SCARED (Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Disorders). Their parents will also complete the CATS and the SDQ (Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire).<br>* Other names: SDQ scale;|
