This project aims to validate the Tunisian Arabic version of the Prodromal Questionnaire – Brief (PQ-B), a widely used screening tool for identifying individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. The study involves data collection from university students across Tunisia, followed by clinical assessments using standardized tools like the CAARMS.

With over 200 responses collected to date, the project also explores issues related to optimal cutoff scores and barriers to help-seeking, such as mental health stigma. The results will help refine early detection strategies and improve access to care for at-risk youth in Arabic-speaking populations.
