Iyer collabore avec la Schizophrenia Research Foundation (SCARF) à Chennai, en Inde, depuis 2006. Cette collaboration a également mené à une vaste étude comparative de plusieurs domaines et de facteurs familiaux auprès de personnes recevant des services d'intervention précoce pour un premier épisode de psychose dans un contexte de revenus moyens faibles (Chennai, Inde) et de revenus élevés (Montréal, Canada). Cette étude a été financée par les National Institutes of Health (NIH), aux États-Unis.
Pour cette étude, les équipes collaboratrices ont créé des mesures pour des concepts nouveaux (p. ex., le niveau de responsabilité attribué aux patients, aux famille et aux cliniciens en matière de rétablissement) et ont adapté des mesures existantes pour les rendre pertinentes dans les deux contextes (p. ex., les références à l'église ou au rugby ont été remplacées par des références plus pertinentes localement) et pour les rendre plus adaptées aux jeunes (p. ex., ajout des jeux vidéo dans une mesure des activités récréatives). La création et l'adaptation ont nécessité diverses étapes telles qu'une revue de la littérature, des méthodes qualitatives et des consultations avec diverses parties prenantes telles que des personnes ayant une expérience vécue, les cliniciens et des chercheurs des deux équipes.
Toutes les mesures ont également été traduites et retraduites de l'anglais au tamoul et au français canadien en utilisant les meilleures pratiques. Nombre de ces mesures, nouvelles ou adaptées, ont été examinées du point de vue de leurs propriétés psychométriques, telles que la fiabilité test-retest - les gens répondent-ils aux mesures de la même manière s'ils les remplissent à deux semaines d’écart ? et la validité - les scores de la nouvelle mesure sont-ils associés aux scores d'une mesure similaire, mais bien établie).
Toutes les mesures peuvent être utilisées gratuitement en utilisant les liens sur ce site Web ou en envoyant un courriel à srividya.iyer [at] mcgill.ca. Veuillez contacter Srividya Iyer si vous envisagez de modifier ou de traduire l'une de ces mesures.
