The General Health Questionnaires  GHQ-12 and GHQ-28 assess mental health in adults. They help to identify persons whose mental condition has undergone a temporary or long-term breakdown due to either experienced difficulties, problems or mental illness and also persons at risk at mental health disorders.

The General Health Questionnaire  is a 12-item (GHQ-12) or 28-item (GHQ-28) inventory which derives, in its basic format, from Goldberg’s 60-item General Health Questionnaire. The GHQ-12 yields only a total score indicative of the patient’s mental condition whereas the GHQ-28 yields both a total score and scores on four scales: Somatic symptoms; Anxiety and insomnia; Dysfunction, and Depression.
