Validation of the Arabic‐Language Version of the Laune‐Slade Hallucinations Scale‐Extended ( LSHS ‐E) in Young General Population Adults

Our findings provide the first evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the LSHS-E scores for assessing hallucinatory experiences in the Tunisian community population. The scale can benefit clinicians by helping them to timely and successfully detect people at risk for or experiencing hallucinations. Researchers and policymakers developing prevention programs could make use of the scale when designing and implementing hallucination prevention strategies to ensure their effectiveness and cultural appropriateness.
