Annotation	Assessed the validity and reliability of the Chula Mental Test (CMT) for screening for cognitive impairment in populations where illiteracy and low educational levels are common. The original test, and the revised CMT were applied in Bangkok. The CMT demonstrates high content, criterion and concurrent validity and appears to be repeatable and internally consistent, so that it may be usable, translated, in other south and south-east Asian countries.
