The City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS-F) was developed to assess posttraumatic stress disorder following childbirth (PTSD-FC), based on the PTSD criteria of the DSM-5. Recent studies investigating the latent factor structure of PTSD-FC symptoms in women reported mixed results. Given that no validated French questionnaire exists to measure PTSD-FC symptoms, this study first aimed to validate the French version of the CBTS (City BiTS-F). Second, it aims to establish the latent factor structure of PTSD-FC.

The first names file contains data on the first names attributed to children born in France since 1900. These data are available at the level of France and by department. The files available for download list births and not living people in a given year. They are available in two formats (DBASE and CSV). To use these large files, it is recommended to use a database manager or statistical software. The file at the national level can be opened from some spreadsheets. The file at the departmental level is however too large (3.8 million lines) to be consulted with a spreadsheet, so it is proposed in a lighter version with births since 2000 only. The data can be accessed in: - a national data file containing the first names attributed to children born in France between 1900 and 2022 (data before 2012 relate only to France outside Mayotte) and the numbers by sex associated with each first name; - a departmental data file containing the same information at the department of birth level; - a lighter data file that contains information at the department level of birth since the year 2000.
