CONCLUSION: Global achievement is evident in the control of the burden of orofacial clefts.

Norms and T-scores for screeners of alcohol use, depression and anxiety in the population of Suriname
DiscussionThe appropriateness of these cut-offs and the value of converting raw scores into T-scores are discussed. Cut-off values help with screening and early detection of those who are likely to have a common mental health disorder and may require treatment. Conversion of raw scores to a common metric in this study facilitates the interpretation of questionnaire results for clinicians and can improve health care provision through measurement-based care.
