Article Synopsis
- The letter updates on "The Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress" (GC-TS) and elaborates on the development of the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS), a tool for assessing trauma outcomes.
- Initial findings suggest the GPS is a useful, reliable, and valid screening instrument, particularly relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic, though broader validation is needed.
- New themes for GC-TS include addressing forcibly displaced persons, exploring the global prevalence of stress-related disorders, studying socio-emotional development across cultures, and enhancing the accessibility and usability of trauma research data.
Trauma is a global issue. The great majority of the global burden of disease arising from mental health conditions occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), among populations in political, economic, and/or cultural transition and those struck by forced migration. These mental health problems frequently arise as a result of traumatic events that adversely affect adults, children, and families, including war, mass violence, natural disasters, and accidents.
