Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rathus assertiveness questionnaire | 5 minutes at inclusion | The Rathus assertiveness questionnaire includes 30 items, each scores from -3 to +30. A total score inferior or equal to -9 reveals assertiveness difficulties. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MOVES | less than 5 minutes at inclusion | The MOVES is a self-questionnaire including 20 items which measures the severity of the Tourette syndrome. Several scores are defined : motor tics, vocal tics, obsession, compulsion and other phenomena. The higher the score, the greater the severity. |
| HADS | 3 minutes at inclusion | The HADS is a self-questionnaire to assess depression (7 items) and anxiety (7 items). |
| ASRS-5 | 2 minutes at inclusion | The Adult AD-HD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-5) is a scale to assess the presence of Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder. We used the first 6 items of the questionnaire for the screening of ADHD. The total score ranges from 0 to 24 and a cut off of 13 shows good screening performance. |
| Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale | 2-3 minutes at inclusion | The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is a self-questionnaire on self-esteem. It includes 10 items. The lower the score, the lower the self-esteem. |
| DERS | 5 minutes at inclusion | The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is a self-questionnaire including 36 items. Lower scores indicate the presence of difficulties in emotion regulation. |
| GTS-QoL | 5 minutes at inclusion | The GTS-QoL is a specific Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome Quality of Life Scale. It consists of 27 items giving 6 dimensions: "Psychological", "Physical and activities of daily life", "Obsessive-compulsive", "Cognitive", "Social" and "Echo-coprophenomena", scored out of 100. The scores the highest represent a poorer quality of life. |
