About this study

The care of the victims of natural disasters or mass disasters such as terrorist attacks is now better structured and organized. The efficacy of debriefing or of defusing has been and is still debated, sometimes bitterly. The aim of the present study is not to demonstrate utility or futility of such approaches, but to i) evaluate their global improvement over the past three years. ii) to list the type of support that the victims were seeking in their attempt to get rid of the symptoms which appeared after the terrorist attack of November 2015 in Paris.

iii) to collect their opinions about the way the CUMP (emergency medico-psychological unit of Paris, France) managed the support to the victims.

Participating subjects registered on the occasion of their first contact with the CUMP 75 by phone during the week following the attack
