Mental health services are far from satisfactory in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The Global Mental Health Assessment Tool—Primary Care version (GMHAT/PC) is a semi-structured, computerized clinical assessment tool that was developed to assist health workers in making quick, convenient and comprehensive standardized mental health assessments. A study was carried out in the United Arab Emirates to evaluate the validity and feasibility of the Arabic version of the GMHAT/PC. Mental health nurses administered the GMHAT/ PC Arabic version to 50 patients in mental health and rehabilitation settings and their GMHAT/PC diagnosis was compared with the psychiatrist’s independent ICD-10 based clinical diagnosis on the same patients. The nurses
found GMHAT/PC easy to administer in an average of 16 minutes. The GMHAT/PC-based diagnosis had a good agreement with the psychiatrist’s diagnosis (kappa = 0.91) and a high sensitivity (97%) and specificity (94%).
