  • Summary

    On 13 November 2015, a series of terrorist attacks occurred in the Paris area. In total, 130 people were killed, 643 people were physically injured, and several thousand were psychosocially affected. Thousands of first responders were mobilised that night and during the subsequent weeks. This chapter presents a summary of the ESPA survey launched by Santé Publique France 8 to 11 months after the attacks in order to measure the traumatic impact and the use of mental health supports by people whose exposure met criterion A of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) definition of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This chapter provides two examples of the analysis and results that can be generated from the database.
