Mental Health Inventory - 5 (MHI-5) in peruvian adolescents: preliminary validation study

CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the MHI-5 maintains the essential one-dimensionality, but it is required to introduce the possible effect of the method due to the content of some of its items. Consistency reliability was acceptable for screening purposes. The following steps are discussed to accumulate more validity evidence, suggesting to develop a shorter version without the problematic items, to reduce the potential response bias.PMID:36753267 | DOI:10.15446/rsap.V21n4.66357
