Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. Psychosis;
2. Depression;
3. Anxiety.
Secondary outcome
The mechanisms by which trauma leads to psychopathology.
Background summary
There is a growing body of evidence linking childhood trauma to psychosis. However, the exact mechanisms driving the association remain to be elucidated. The study will specifically focus on how traumatic events in childhood could result in onset of psychotic symptoms. We also strive to gain more detailed insight into the relation between specific characteristics of the traumatic events and subsequent risk of psychosis.
Study objective
1. Is there an association between trauma and psychopathology in children?
2. Is there a (causal) relationship between trauma and expression of psychosis (liability)?
3. Is there evidence of (epi) genetic moderation of this association?
4. What are the mechanisms underlying the association between childhood trauma and psychosis?
5. Do genetic polymorphisms, that previous research suggests may mediate environmental sensitivity, moderate the association between trauma and psychosis?
Study design
Baseline and follow-up 2 years later.
Measurements that will be used:
Interviews: KSDADS-PL, ITEC and CIDI.
Questionnaires: CAPE, BDI-II, YSR, STAI, PBI, JTV, RPV.
Experience sampling method (psymate).
Computer tasks: Picture sequencing Task, Beads task, Facial affect recognition, white noise task.
Intervention
This is not an intervention study.
The study is about the effects of youth experiences on the development later in life which will be studied using:
1. Interviews;
2. Questionnaires;
3. Experimental tasks;
4. Saliva sample;
5. Experience sampling method.
