Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, cross-sectional observational study of French veterans with PTSD. It uses mediation analyses to explore whether PTSD influences anger indirectly via social cognitive abilities, and it qualitatively examines how alcohol use and ACE affect social cognition components. A second qualitative aim investigates moral harms reported by participants through semi-structured interviews. Recruitment involves the Pension and Occupational Risks Service sending invitations, followed by informed consent and online assessments, with a subset undergoing interviews.
