Validation of the Italian Version of the STAR-MH Mental Health Screening Tool in a Sample of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Northern Italy
The Italian version of the STAR-MH is a clinimetrically sound instrument to screen for PTSD among ASR, although modifications may be needed to improve its ability to capture MDD in different ASR populations. As it is, the STAR-MH can be a valuable resource for non healthcare providers, such as frontline workers, to facilitate timely mental health interventions.
