简要总结
The ATICC study (Addiction, Trauma, and Immigration, Prevention and Cross-Cultural Support for Care) investigates the complex relationships between trauma, substance use, migration experiences, and mental health perceptions among vulnerable young adults in Transitional Housing (Foyers de Jeunes Travailleurs) in France. Using a tripartite methodology, the study includes: (1) a cross-sectional survey to identify risk factors, (2) qualitative interviews to explore individual experiences, and (3) a longitudinal intervention using focus groups to assess psychological well-being and attitudes toward care. The findings will contribute to developing culturally adapted prevention and support programs.
详细描述
The ATICC study (Addiction, Trauma, and Immigration, Prevention and Cross-Cultural Support for Care) is a mixed-methods research project aimed at understanding the interplay between trauma, substance use, migration experiences, and mental health perceptions among vulnerable young adults residing in Transitional Housing for Young Adults (Foyers de Jeunes Travailleurs, FJT) in France. The study will identify key risk factors, assess barriers to healthcare access, and evaluate the effectiveness of group interventions in improving psychological well-being and attitudes toward mental health services.
The study is structured into three complementary research components:
Cross-sectional study: Utilizes standardized questionnaires to assess substance use behaviors, trauma history, mental health status, and barriers to healthcare. The data will be collected at baseline and analyzed using descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques (R software).
Qualitative study: Conducts semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants who engage in substance use. Thematic analysis using NVivo software will be applied to explore individual narratives and subjective experiences related to substance use and mental health perceptions.
Longitudinal interventional study: Implements focus group interventions within transitional housing settings to evaluate their impact on psychological well-being and attitudes toward healthcare. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted using validated psychological measures.
