In high-income countries, population health surveys often measure mental health. This is less common in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including in India, where mental health is under-researched relative to its disease burden. The objective of this study is to assess the performance of two questionnaires for measuring population mental health in a mobile phone survey. We adapt the Kessler-6 screening questionnaire and the World Health Organization’s Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) for a mobile phone survey in the Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand and Maharashtra. The questionnaires differ in the symptoms they measure and in the number of response options offered. Questionnaires are randomly assigned to respondents. We consider a questionnaire to perform well if it identifies geographic and demographic disparities in mental health that are consistent with the literature and does not suffer from selective non-response. Both questionnaires measured less mental distress in Maharashtra than in Bihar and Jharkhand, which is consistent with Maharashtra’s higher human development indicators. The adapted SRQ, but not the adapted Kessler-6, identified women as having worse mental health than men in all three states. Conclusions about population mental health based on the adapted Kessler-6 are likely to be influenced by low response rates (about 82% across the three samples). Respondents were different from non-respondents: non-respondents were less educated and more likely to be female. The SRQ’s higher response rate (about 94% across the three states) may reflect the fact that it was developed for use in LMICs and that it focuses on physical, rather than emotional, symptoms, which may be less stigmatized.

Mental emotional disorder or psychological distress is one of non communicable diseases (NCD) risk factor. The aim of this analysis was to figure mental emotional condition among adult population in Kebon Kalapa Village of Bogor from 2011 to 2013. There were 1338 analyzed subjects those were same people, 25-65 years old, living in Kebon Kalapa Bogor city. The instrument used was Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) consisted of 20 items need “yes” or “no” answer. Subjects would be indicated have mental emotional disorder if they answered”yes”for six questions. The sample was taken using consecutive sampling method. Data was processed using computer with SPSS 21 version statistical program. We describe the characteristics of subjects by general linear model repeated measure analysis to assess every measurement. The results showed frequency and mean score of SRQ of population increased in 2012 and decreased in 2013. It was appropriate to National Basic Health Research 2013 that showed decreasing pattern of mental emotional disorder among Indonesian population in 2013.Keywords : mental emotional disorder, SRQ, non communicable disease cohort.AbstrakGangguan mental emosional atau distres psikologik merupakan salah satu faktor risiko penyakitpenyakit tidak menular. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggambarkan kondisi mental emosional penduduk Kelurahan Kebon Kalapa Bogor dari tahun 2011 sampai 2013. Jumlah subjek yang dianalisis sebanyak 1338 orang yang berusia 25-65 tahun. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) yang terdiri 20 butir pertanyaan yang memerlukan jawaban “ya” atau “tidak”. Subjek diindikasikan mengalami gangguan mental emosional apabila memiliki jawaban “ya” pada paling sedikit 6 butir pertanyaan. Cara pengambilan sampel secara consecutive sampling. Data diolah dengan komputer dan menggunakan program statistik SPSS versi 21. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis General Linear Model Repeated Measure untuk melihat perubahan setiap pengukuran. Hasil yang diperoleh memperlihatkan bahwa frekwensi serta rerata skor SRQ penduduk meningkat tahun 2012, dan menurun tahun 2013. Hal ini sejalan dengan hasil Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2013 yang memperlihatkan pola penurunan gangguan mental emosional pada penduduk Indonesia pada tahun 2013.Kata kunci: gangguan mental emosional, SRQ, kohor penyakit tidak menular.

Desa Kalegen merupakan daerah rural dengan luas wilayah 2,26 km2 dan tingkat kepadatanpenduduk 1130 dan pernah mengalami bencana tanah longsor.

A recent improvement to the Seaweb underwater wireless network was the implementation of a Selective Automatic Repeat Request (SRQ) mechanism. SRQ is a protocol implemented in the Seaweb link layer as a measure for mitigating unreliability inherent in the telesonar physical layer. In January 2004, an experiment was performed in St. Andrew's Bay, Panama City, Florida. The goal was to transmit large data files through the network, in accordance with a Naval Special Warfare need for imagery file telemetry. For three point-to-point test geometries, SRQ was tested with a noisy and variable physical layer. Through the incorporation of SRQ, the unreliability was overcome. A link-budget model calibrated with the sound channel data collected from the experiment establishes the benefit of a "SRQ gain." http://archive.org/details/aselectiveutomat109451567 Ensign, United States Navy Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
