Psychometric Validation and Cultural Adaptation of the Turkish Version of the Global Psychotrauma Screen.

ABSTRACT: Background: The prevalence of trauma-related disorders in Türkiye is higher than in high-income countries due to an increased likelihood of exposure to traumatic events. Türkiye's high prevalence of trauma-related disorders underscores the need for validated tools to screen for trauma-related symptoms. The Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) is a newly developed, brief instrument designed to screen for transdiagnostic trauma-related symptoms and risk factors. However, its validity in Turkish populations has yet to be established. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the GPS in a general population sample from Türkiye. Methods: The Turkish version of the GPS was administered digitally to 499 individuals (36.3% male, 63.7% female) aged 18 to 74 year
