The questionnaire consists of three parts: 1) General information 2) The Thai GHQ-28 3) The need for mental health services in educational institutions. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test.
Results: The sample consisted of 76.25% normal group and 23.75% at-risk group for mental health problems. In the risk group, the sample had 6.58% social disorders, 5.26% somatic symptoms, 3.95% major depressive symptoms, and 2.63% anxiety and insomnia.
