Abstract
Theoretical framework: The assessment of mental health literacy is a key aspect in the design and implementation of mental
health education and awareness programmes, specifically in school settings, given the high prevalence of mental disorders in
adolescents and young people and the need for interventions adjusted to specific settings and target groups.
Objectives: To describe the assessment of the psychometric properties of the Questionnaire for Assessment of Mental Health
Literacy (QuALiSMental).
Methodology: Administration of the questionnaire to a random and representative sample of 4.938 Portuguese adolescents and
young people attending schools in the area of coverage of the Regional Directorate of Education - Centre.
Results: The QuALiSMental has acceptable levels of reliability and a factor structure which is consistent with the theoretical
components of mental health literacy.
Conclusion: The questionnaire may be applied both as a screening measure of literacy and as a measure for assessing the impact
of interventions on the promotion of mental health among adolescents and young people.
