title: [Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire].
abstract: This paper reviews the different applications of the General Health Questionnaire in clinical work and research. Based on extensive experience of different versions of the GHQ, the authors recommend the 20- or 30-item versions, and not the 28-item version, as most suitable for the longitudinal and state assessments of distress, psychopathology and quality of life in medical and psychiatric populations.
