Background: While previous research examining the psychometric properties of Lluch's original Positive Mental Health Scale has been conducted in other Latin American countries, a similar research in Colombia has not been documented to date. Objective: To review the psychometric properties of the Positive Mental Health Scale in Colombian young people. Method: Instrumental - psychometric study, with a sample of 886 people (63.4% women) between 13 and 25 years old. Results: The factorial analysis [FA] shows a correspondence with the six factors proposed in the original version of the test, with an explained variance of 42.90%, as well as acceptable indicators of reliability for each factor and correlations between items. Conclusions: These findings provide empirical evidence in favor of the use of the Positive Mental Health Scale with young people; however, a subsequent validation exercise is needed to provide more robust psychometric indicators.
