37. Preface
• Medical students play an important role for screening
the mental health status of public.
• So this study was undertaken to screen the hidden cases
of mental disturbances present among MBBS students
their relatives by using GMHAT.

38. Approach
•Integrated teaching was implemented by
the active involvement of the departments
of Physiology, Medicine and Psychiatry.
•At the end of their training, both groups
were again assessed with a post-test
questionnaire.

39. Goals of GMHAT
• The post-test mean
scores of the control
group was slightly
higher than pre-test
scores (43±12.5 v/s
48±14) but the
difference didn’t reach
a significant level
(p>0.05).
•Where as the post-test
mean scores of study
group was significantly
higher (p<0.001) than
compared with pre-test
scores (67±15 v/s
39±11.5).
