Aim: Estimate the prevalence of common mental disorders among Botucatu Medical School's students on the first (2006) and last year (2011) of the medical course, and analyze its association with the explanatory variables. Methods: Longitudinal study based on a sample of Botucatu Medical School's students using a self-administered questionnaire answered in two moments of the medical course (2006 and 2011). Social-demographic characteristics, social support and common mental disorder were investigated. The dependent variable was the increasing score on the Self- Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) when compared 2006 and 2011 data, analyzing its association with the exposure variables. On the multivariate analyses, it was built a Stepwise Logistic Regression model and p<0,05 was adopted to reject the nullity hypothesis. Results: In a class of 90 students, about 67.8% of the medical students have participated in the two moments. Among these, 31,2% (CI 95%: 19,2-43,1) achieved score level to common mental disorders on the beginning of the course and 37,7% (IC 95%: 25,2- 50,2) on the last year; nevertheless there was no significant difference between the two moments. On the multivariate analyses, adjusted for age, sex and 'considering giving up the medical course', those having a higher score on interaction-support scale in 2006 remain linked to a lower chance of rising on the SRQ score along the course (OR=0,84; CI 95% 0,72-0,99). Conclusion: Interactionsupport in 2006 demonstrated to be a protection factor related to the increasing SRQ score along the medical course. Considering the high prevalence of common mental disorder among the medical students, it is necessary more longitudinal and qualitative studies to increase the comprehension of the risk and protection factors associated with the mental illness of this population. The Medical School must pay attention to the undergraduate's mental health and promote changes through psychological ...
