[Validation of the SRQ in mental health examinations of the general public]. / Validación del SRQ en los exámenes de salud mental en la población general.

The utility of the SRQ on the mental health screening in a general population sample is tested on this paper. In terms of a better sensibility/specificity adjustment, and greater adequacy the results show that the best cut-off point is found on 3 affirmative answers. The results are discussed in relation to some others found at the literature.
