Sumario:This work verifies the dimensional structure of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure (CORE-OM; Evans et al., 2000) through a quantitative-cross-sectional study in a sample of 466 university students who were selected by convenience sampling. 181 ages 18 to 30 who had requested psychological attention; and 285 ages 17 to 29 who were not seeking care. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses,three dimensions for the instrument were identified, which presented adequate levels of internal consistency. This substantially replicates the previous results of the original version. Statistically significant differences were found in relation to sex, as well as of the consulting and non-consulting population. Differential item functioning (DIF) was carried out to explore these differences, and five items were found in the first category and three in the second. The internal structure of CORE-OM explores a wide range of symptoms of psychological distress and it is useful for evaluation in young university students.
