Testing the factor structure of the International Trauma Questionnaire in a sample of violence‐exposed women living in Northern Ireland
Violence against women and girls is a pervasive global issue, widely recognized as a violation of human rights and a critical public health challenge. It is also increasingly acknowledged as a significant public mental health concern, given its strong associations with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD; Oram et al., 2017).

Testing the Use of “Clinical Checks” With the International Trauma Questionnaire to Measure PTSD and Complex PTSD
Significant outcomes ○ Clinical checks reduce ITQ symptom endorsements and overall PTSD/CPTSD prevalence rates. ○ The ITQ with clinical checks provides an alternative approach to assess PTSD and CPTSD, combining key strengths of self-report measures and clinical interviews. Limitations ○ The non-probability sampling method limits generalizability. ○ Concordance between interview assessments and the ITQ with clinical checks was not examined.

Exploring changing trends in depression and anxiety among adolescents from 2012 to 2019: Insights from My World repeated cross‐sectional surveys
1 INTRODUCTION Adolescence is a critical period of development, which can shape the likelihood, severity and course of mental health problems (Kessler et al., 2007; Kessler et al., 2012). There is evidence that 62.5% of mental disorders occur before the age of 25 years (Solmi et al., 2022). However, mental health problems among this age group often remain undetected until adult life and many young people do not get adequate support (Hetrick et al., 2018).
Prevalence and correlates of ICD‐11 prolonged grief disorder among adults living in Ukraine during the war with Russia
Significant Outcomes Almost nine-in-ten (87.7%) people in Ukraine have been bereaved, and 13.0% of these people met diagnostic requirements for probable ICD-11 PGD. People who were bereaved because of the war were three times more likely than those reporting a bereavement due to anticipated naturalcauses to meet diagnostic requirements for probable PGD.
The International Grief Questionnaire (IGQ): A new measure of ICD‐11 prolonged grief disorder
Posttraumatic stress symptoms Symptoms of grief-related PTSD were measured using the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ; Cloitre et al., 2018). The ITQ includes six items measuring all symptoms of ICD-11 PTSD. Participants were instructed to complete the ITQ thinking about their bereavement experience.
Assessing the validity and reliability of the International Anxiety Questionnaire and the International Depression Questionnaire in two bereaved national samples
Key Practitioner Message This study demonstrates that the IAQ and IDQ are psychometrically sound measures of ICD-11 GAD and DD and can assess anxiety and depression, respectively, in the same manner regardless of country, sex, and age. This study demonstrates that a substantial minority of bereaved individuals in the United Kingdom and Irish populations meet criteria for diagnosis of probable ICD-11 GAD and DD.

ICD‐11 ‘mixed depressive and anxiety disorder’ is clinical rather than sub‐clinical and more common than anxiety and depression in the general population
Abstract Background The new International Classification of Diseases was published in 2018 (ICD-11; World Health Organization, 2018) and now includes ‘Mixed depressive and anxiety disorder’ (6A73: MDAD) designated as a mood disorder. This disorder is defined by symptoms of both anxiety and depression occurring more days than not, for a period of two weeks, and neither set of symptoms considered separately reaches a diagnostic threshold for either disorder.
Psychological characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the United Kingdom - Nature Communications
Abstract Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy within distinct populations may aid future public health messaging. Using nationally representative data from the general adult populations of Ireland (N = 1041) and the United Kingdom (UK; N = 2025), we found that vaccine hesitancy/resistance was evident for 35% and 31% of these populations respectively.

Demographic and health factors associated with pandemic anxiety in the context of COVID‐19
Abstract Objectives The mental health consequences of COVID‐19 are predicted to have a disproportionate impact on certain groups. We aimed to develop a brief measure, the Pandemic Anxiety Scale, to capture the specific aspects of the pandemic that are provoking anxiety, and explore how these vary by health and demographic factors. Design Data were from a convenience sample of parents (N = 4,793) and adolescents (N = 698) recruited in the first 6 weeks of lockdown.
COVID‐19‐related anxiety predicts somatic symptoms in the UK population
Abstract This study aimed to estimate the association between anxiety associated with COVID‐19 and somatic symptoms, using data from a large, representative sample (N = 2,025) of the UK adult population. Results showed that moderate to high levels of anxiety associated with COVID‐19 were significantly associated with general somatic symptoms and in particular with gastrointestinal and fatigue symptoms.

The role of negative cognitions, emotion regulation strategies, and attachment style in complex post‐traumatic stress disorder: Implications for new and existing therapies - Karatzias - 2018 - British Journal of Psychology - Wiley Online Library
We set out to investigate the association between negative trauma‐related cognitions, emotional regulation strategies, and attachment style and complex post‐traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). As the evidence regarding the treatment of CPTSD is emerging, investigating psychological factors that are associated with CPTSD can inform the adaptation or the development of effective interventions for CPTSD. A cross‐sectional design was employed.
