    El presente estudio describe las propiedades psicométricas de la versión en portugués del Mental Health Inventory-5 para su uso con los jóvenes adolescentes. Una muestra de 367 estudiantes portugueses (10-15 años de edad) completaron la versión en portugués del Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5; Berwick et al., 1991), Children’s Hope Scale (CHS; Snyder et al., 1997), Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS; Huebner, 1991a), y Global Self-Worth Sub-scale (Harter, 1985). Análisis de la comprensión de la lectura, de la fiabilidad (consistencia interna y 1año de estabilidad), de la estructura factorial y de la validez relacionada con el criterio sugiere que el MHI-5 puede ser utilizado con este grupo de edad. Se analizan las implicaciones de los resultados.

    The present study describes the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Mental Health Inventory-5 for use with young adolescents. A sample of 367 Portuguese students (aged 10-15 years) completed the Portuguese-language versions of Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5; Berwick et al., 1991), Children's Hope Scale (CHS; Snyder et al., 1997), Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS; Huebner, 1991a), and Global Self-Worth Sub-scale (Harter, 1985). Analysis of readability, reliability (internal consistency and 1-year stability), factor structure, and criterion-related validity suggested that the MHI-5 can be appropriately used in this age group. Implications of the findings are discussed.
