Abstract
This study reports the development of a “worst ever episode” version of the Goldberg and Hillier (1979) GHQ-28. The scale was designed to provide a short self-report instrument for use with the general population that could be used to identify past episodes of psychopathology likely to be of clinical significance. Preliminary results together with values for 6-month test-retest reliability are reported for a sample of mature students.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
