A study has been conducted to establish the validity of a Spanish version of Goldberg's G. H. Q. in its 60-item final form. This screening instrument was tested on a sample of 200 patients who attended four general out-patient clinics. One hundred and nine of the patients were interviewed by various psychiatrists using the Standardized Psychiatric Interview. The correlation obtained between the questionnaire scores and clinical judgement of the severity of psychiatric disturbance was 0.81. The specificity of the questionnaire was found to be 88%, and its sensitivity 81%. These results confirm the validity of the G. H. Q. in its Spanish version and open the door to future comparative studies among English and Spanish speaking populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
