How feeling dehumanized affects hesitation to report domestic violence

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

Adult women who are victims of physical and/or psychological domestic violence and who speak French are interviewed and complete standardized questionnaires during a single one-hour visit. First, a clinician collects sociodemographic data and medical/violence history and administers the MADRS depression scale in a 30-minute interview. Immediately afterward participants complete four computerized self-questionnaires (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, a dehumanization-in-romantic-relationships scale, a self-esteem scale, and a violentometer) plus an Implicit Association Test over about 30 minutes. Data are collected at CH Henri Laborit and CHU Poitiers after the patient gives non-opposition to participate.
