At baseline, 3-month and 6-month post-treatment, sociodemographic data, trauma exposure - esp. SGBV, PTSD, dissociation, shame, functionality and depression will be assessed in a structured interview. The interviews will be conducted by blind Congolese psychological interviewers after an intensive 3-weeks training and continuous supervision.
