Summary

Context: psychosocial competencies (CPS) are higher cognitive functions defined by the ability to interact with others by adopting appropriate and positive behavior. They are defined among three axes: emotional skills, cognitive skills and social skills. Dysfunctions in social skills in adults are linked to substance use and abuse, sensitivity to pain, control of violence, and being a victim of violence. The links are bidirectional: both causes and consequences.

Objectives: Compare the level of psychosocial skills in patients presenting with a use disorder or chronic pain or being victims or perpetrators of domestic violence or patients followed in a primary care center without any of these histories, using the score obtained after passing a scale currently being validated in an adult population.

Secondary objectives Describe profiles of social skills dysfunction within each population Evaluate the link between alterations in CPS in the different populations and different sociodemographic, intrinsic or environmental criteria

Type of study: multicenter comparative cross-sectional study

Number of centers: twelve (6 multi-professional primary care health centers - 6 hospital centers)

Study description: Cross-sectional, multicenter study. The patients will be included consecutively over a one-year period at the time of their visit to the inclusion center.

Primary endpoint: score obtained for each of the 4 axes on the ad hoc psychosocial skills assessment test.

Number of subjects: 600 patients (60 in each group)

Inclusion criteria

* Patients aged 18 and over,
* Patients with chronic pain lasting at least 6 months,
* Patients with alcohol dependence,
* Patients victims of intra-family violence,
* Patients who commit intra-family violence,
* Patients followed in primary care and not presenting any of the 4 previous items,

Study procedure: each participant, regardless of population, will receive a single 45-minute interview consisting of a validated psychosocial skills assessment test, and a record of consumption status and medico-socio-economic history.

Data will be collected directly online, and the main analysis will be based on a comparative analysis of the level of social skills between the different groups for each of the four axes of the social skills assessment test.
