Clinical trials

The VAL-RAS-FR study aims to cross-culturally adapt, validate, and develop derived versions of the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS), an internationally used self-report measure of subjective recovery in mental health. The study will include 260 adult psychiatric patients receiving care at EPSM Metz-Jury in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Participants will complete the French version of the RAS (RAS-FR), the WHOQOL-BREF, and additional self-report questionnaires. A subgroup of participants will complete the RAS-FR again after one month to assess test-retest reliability. The study will also explore existential aspects of recovery through the development of the RAS-FR-EX (Existential Extension) and support the development of a shorter version, the RAS-FR-SF (Short Form), for clinical and research purposes.
