The cut off point for SCL-90-R was scored 64, which showed 87.9% of sensitivity, 90.4% of specificity and 9.1% of overall misclassification rate. Findings: According to the results, 67 cases (17.1%) suffered from different kinds of mental disorders (37 (18.2%) were female and 30 (16%) were male). Prevalence of mood, anxious, adjustment, somatoform and paranoid disorders were 5.8%, 4.9%, 3.3%, 2.8% and 0.3% respectively.
