Feasibility, Acceptability and Clinical Utility of the Bereavement and Grief Cultural Formulation Interview for Prolonged Grief Disorder.

ABSTRACT: Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is a new diagnostic category included in global diagnostic classification systems for mental disorders. However, PGD can only be diagnosed if the severity and duration exceed socio-cultural norms. Here, we present a new supplementary module to the DSM-5 Cultural Formulation Interview: the Bereavement and Grief Cultural Formulation Interview (BG-CFI). The BG-CFI was developed to help clinicians provide a culturally informed diagnosis and guide treatment planning.We investigated the feasibility, acceptability, and clinical utility of the BG-CFI. Two participant groups (11 refugees, asylum seekers or migrants experiencing bereavement and 3 clinicians) took part in the study and were interviewed using open-ended questions on measures of feasibility, acceptability
