心理健康已被发现在很大程度上加重了全球疾病负担。这提高了发展中国家对心理健康的重视程度。许多国家仍然没有心理健康政策，也没有将心理健康纳入其初级保健方案。需要社区心理健康概况为政策提供信息。有必要对心理健康进行更多的研究，并将心理健康措施纳入更普遍、全面、以人口为基础的健康调查。本文回顾了世界卫生组织认可的工具（称为自我报告问卷20项（SRQ 20））的使用和性能。本文的结论是，高的面子和标准效度，易用性和适用性管理的外行工作人员支持使用SRQ20作为一个具有成本效益的工具，以衡量社区心理健康。
Mental health has been found to contribute significantly to the global burden of disease. This has raised the profile of mental health in developing countries. Many countries still do not have mental health policies, nor do they incorporate mental health in their primary care package. Community mental health profiles are needed to inform policy. There is a demand for more studies of mental health and the inclusion of mental health measures in more general, comprehensive, population-based health surveys. This article reviews the use and performance of a World Health Organization-endorsed instrument known as the Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20 items (SRQ20). The paper concludes that the high face and criterion validity, ease of use and suitability for administration by lay workers support the use of the SRQ20 as a cost-effective instrument with which to measure community mental health.
