Protocol Study on Addiction, Trauma and Immigration Among Vulnerable Young Adults in Grand Est
Sponsor: University of Lorraine
Summary
The ATICC study (Addiction, Trauma, and Immigration, Prevention and Cross-Cultural Support for Care) investigates the complex relationships between trauma, substance use, migration experiences, and mental health perceptions among vulnerable young adults in Transitional Housing (Foyers de Jeunes Travailleurs) in France. Using a tripartite methodology, the study includes: (1) a cross-sectional survey to identify risk factors, (2) qualitative interviews to explore individual experiences, and (3) a longitudinal intervention using focus groups to assess psychological well-being and attitudes toward care. The findings will contribute to developing culturally adapted prevention and support programs.

Interventions
Focus group
The "Well-Being Coffee Group" intervention is implemented in two formats: in person and others via videoconference, all facilitated by the same psychologist throughout the study. Across all formats, participation is voluntary and follows an information phase and the signing of an informed consent form. Participants will complete standardized evaluation questionnaires at multiple time points. The discussion groups are designed to create a supportive and open environment that encourages free expression. Their goal is to provide participants with a space to share their thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences, as well as to reflect on those emerging from group discussions. Topics explored include identity, substance use, migratory experiences, and mental health, fostering meaningful dialogue and mutual support.
