A brief 20-item measure of psychological distress, the GHQ20, was administered to three diverse ethnic groups, which included Chinese, Filipino, and Maori subjects. The FACTOREP method was employed to see if the previously reported four-factor structure of the GHQ20 could then be replicated. The four-factor structure was clearly replicated across the three groups. It is suggested that this measure may be useful for future cross-cultural studies in which a brief symptom measure yielding information on several different dimensions of distress is required
