Distress in Crisis Situations During COVID-19

Distress During the COVID-19 Pandemic in France: a National Assessment of At-risk Populations

There are many scales for screening or assessing the impact of a disease. These scales are generally used to diagnose or assess the severity of a disease and are carried out at the request of a physician by the patient. Conversational agents could make it possible to administer these questionnaires remotely, analyse them and use the results on a large scale, without prior medical intervention.

The main objective of this study is to quantify and qualify the distress of a large population in times of pandemic crisis.

The Peritraumatic Distress Inventory is the standard tool designed to assess distress in times of crisis. It consists of 13 questions.
