Using an in-depth psychological assessment as reference, the aim of the study was to validate adult Middle Eastern refugees' own testimonies of their possible previous exposure to torture. The study group comprised 31 male and 43 female refugees, who accepted participation in a structured interview with closed questions and a following blinded in-depth psychological interview. According to the psychological interview, 30% (55% of males, 12% of females) had been exposed to torture. The sensitivity and the specificity of the structured interview in identifying previous torture was 82% and 92%, respectively, without significant differences concerning the refugee's gender. It is concluded that refugees' own testimonies of torture appear fairly valid. This enables anamnestic torture prevalence estimation in refugee groups, based on pre-structured interview techniques.

以深入的心理评估为参考，本研究的目的是验证成年中东难民关于他们此前可能遭受酷刑经历的自述。研究组包括31名男性和43名女性难民，他们同意参与一项包含封闭式问题的结构化访谈以及随后的盲法深入心理访谈。根据心理访谈结果，30%（男性为55%，女性为12%）曾遭受酷刑。结构化访谈识别此前酷刑经历的敏感度和特异度分别为82%和92%，在难民性别方面无显著差异。研究得出结论，难民关于酷刑的自述似乎相当可靠。这使得基于预先结构化访谈技术对难民群体中既往酷刑发生率进行估计成为可能。哥本哈根酷刑受害者康复与研究中心（RCT）以及奥胡斯大学流行病学与社会医学系。
