RESUMEN
Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 40 de los 49 alumnos de medicina integral comunitaria del Área de Salud Integral Comunitaria de Transporte, perteneciente al municipio Rafael Urdaneta del estado de Miranda en la República Bolivariana de Venezuela durante el segundo trimestre del curso escolar 2008. Se aplicó el cuestionario de salud general de Goldberg (siglas en inglés GHQ) en su versión castellana de 12 ítems. El análisis estadístico fue realizado mediante el cálculo de la media y la desviación estándar, además del estadígrafo no paramétrico de ji al cuadrado. Se concluyó que algunos estudiantes presentaban deterioro en la salud mental, así como también que no existía asociación entre el consumo de alcohol y tabaco y el resultado de la aplicación de dicho cuestionario; por otro lado, aunque entre las alumnas se halló el mayor número de casos, su porcentaje fue menor que entre los varones.
